I have been quietly following this project. I love NestJS and I love Dart. I hoped this would be my favourite Dart backend framework. But it seems like nothing is happening. It's sad if something this good should go away.

Hey there! I really appreciate your comment, I stopped this project since I saw another backend projects were coming and also that some people weren't interested enough.

Thanks to your comment, I will rethink to continue the project and keep pushing it, unfortunately just now I have personal problems to take care of, I can't promise anything, but I will check again the code and ask at least for some feedback ;)

Okay. I understand. I have seen the other backend projects and they are good.
However, most of the backend projects don't come with strong OOP opinions embedded into the frameworks.
I see them as problematic because most of them will work well for experienced developers who have already used frameworks like Spring but later felt that less-opinionated solutions like Express or Gin would work for them.
To be honest, the discipline these persons get from Spring, Laravel, etc... helps them in their use of Express.

Many young developers get into Flutter as their first software engineering experience and they want to try Dart backend in order to take advantage of one language across frontend and backend. While that is good, these young developers do not understand OOP, Clean Code and Clean Architecture well. There is need for frameworks in Dart backend that enforces and informs the developer on principles of Object-Oriented Programming and aligns the team around a consistent architecture.

This will empower younger inexperienced teams to create powerful tools and reliable code.

Just my thoughts.
Cheers.

And by the way, you definitely need to take care of yourself first. I am glad to assist in Community Development whenever (and if) you decide to get the project up again.
