Hi Karsten,
Not sure what frameworks you have in mind. But I'm happy to hear more about frameworks that would make Onionoo easier to extend and not perform worse (or even better) than now. If you have something in mind, please say so.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm not against the choice of Java, nor claiming better choices. I have fond memories of Java. In particular I've been working a lot with Django recently. I didn't want to redo works that may have already been performed. I was thinking of some recreational uses of a server. I started looking at the onionoo documentation and my curiosity was piqued. Precisely because the first thing I thought of was reusing a cloned server for, well, a onionoo-clone.
The JSON formatted files could be used as fixtures for setup. The two apps could be run separately as you've already mentioned.
The other development specifics are: nginx-gunicorn(greenlets/aiohttp) postgresql-pgbouncer
Is it an experiment worth pursuing? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
