I'm interested in this but your introduction is a little lacking. "Hello, World" isn't really enough to get a feel for a framework, how about "Hello, To-Do App" or "Hello, Blog"?

Regardless, congrats on your release!

Hi, author of Happy here. A Todo or Blog app as a basic example is a great idea! I'm planning on adding more example apps to the source distribution and will make sure they'll be part of that.

I'm also the author of Schnitzelpress, a Ruby-based blog engine built with Sinatra (and optimized for hosting on Heroku and similar cloud providers), and I will be porting it from Sinatra to Happy some time soon.

The full example app from the tutorial is linked from the blog article, but it was too much code to show inline. Also, the hamburg.io app gives a pretty good overview of what Happy can do. It's also linked from the blog post, or directly: https://github.com/hmans/hamburg-io
