The idea came from building Beasty — my own HTTP server from raw TCP. The moment you parse your first request line by hand and a browser actually responds, something clicks. You stop thinking of HTTP as magic and start thinking of it as bytes. That's the feeling I want 50 teenagers to have.
The project has 6 milestones — from opening a TCP socket all the way to middleware and custom routing. Doable in a weekend if you're motivated, ~15 hours of focused work.
