A simple Common Lisp web app

A tutorial for the web

Some time ago, when I looked for guidance on writing a web app, I was surprised by the absence of a quickstart page to help me set up a simple server — something the Python community has provided for Flask for many years. REPL-driven programming is probably the only benefit since hot reloading has already been implemented in all high-level languages, but the iteration with the REPL is still mostly limited to Emacs, with SLIME and SLY, which are all examples of great software, but their usability doesn’t reflect that of other modern editors. I would like to give a shout-out to Alive which is the only Common Lisp extension for VSCode that implements the REPL with features similar to what SLIME and SLY bring to Emacs.
