I built a short-code marketplace with zero npm dependencies (Node.js 22, no framework)

Short summary

A developer built claimo.me, a short-code marketplace where users claim 2-4 letter codes as permanent redirect links, QR codes, or profile cards. The entire stack uses zero npm dependencies—just Node.js 22's built-in http module and node:sqlite, plus Stripe for payments. The author asks whether the zero-dependency approach is sustainable long-term and whether the product concept itself makes sense.

• •Built claimo.me with zero npm dependencies using Node.js 22 built-in modules
• •node:sqlite's DatabaseSync works well but lacks conveniences like better-sqlite3's transaction helpers
• •Author solicits feedback on both the technical approach and the product concept
