Am I correct to conclude that I should not/do not need to use framework like this one if the backend is only responding to REST requests?

I have written a few microservices/APIs with Microdot, actually. Works really well for that.

I use microdot on a pi pico w and while it does work it also runs the board out of ram and makes connecting to wifi somewhat nondeterministic.

I solved this my precompiling to bytecode both microdot and picozero libraries. Works great now, I just have to remember to do this again every time I update micropython.

Is there any particular reason why you didn't add types to the params? I'm just curious why python devs don't embrace typing more.

The library looks quite similar to aiohttp (asyncio web server with route decorators and WebSocket support). Is there a reason to use one over the other if you're not using MicroPython? A feature comparison and/or benchmarks would be great.

I love your docs - went through a major part of it on a mobile yesterday and basically understood how things work. Which is a nice result, as I usually don't code at all, sometimes script.

I felt similar simplicity with a few python projects before (Flask included), but then noticed it was just a facade of "weird". This one gives me those vibes again and I want to find out if it will work out for some status pages I'm thinking of :)

Great work.
