Backend development can be hard, long, and dark. Even more to produce modern, robust, production-ready APIs
Say hello to Lantern, your guide through the backend abyss
Lantern is currently under heavy development, so new features will be release soon ❤️
Don't hesitate to share your improvements or to give feedback on Discord (LeChatErrant#6074) 😉
