Started playing with the Algernon server. It is very, VERY opinionated. But it looks like I could have a lot of fun using this cute monster!
Algernon serves micro-apps with storage-backed state and it resonates with my own "smol" CGI-server. Now I feel that I need to host Algernon on my dokku and implement a couple of small web apps with it. The slight tension I'm experiencing right now because of its user/permission subsystem. I want to have it granular enough to protect only some apps, yet the whole subsystem is still too cryptic to me :P
