Why I'm Building Remake

I’m beyond frustrated with modern web development. It feels hyper-inefficient when it could be completely streamlined.

We currently use massively scalable tools from the biggest companies on earth to solve even the most basic problems. We’ve got infinitely nested component with jumbles of state being passed every which way, a new build tool or framework or best practice every week, and then we have to constantly switch contexts between 12+ disparate technologies just to get an app online.

There should be a simpler way for product-focused founders who want to solve user problems instead of spending all their time debugging their monster stack and gluing things back together.

What about the concept of a “web app object”? A dynamic object that looks like an HTML node but contains all the web app capabilities you need across the stack collapsed into a single primitive.

	- Files in directory "min15" won't be older than 15 minutes
	- Files in directory "day30" won't be older than 30 days
