Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 9, Documentation: 7, Utility: 4)

ymawky is a pure ARM64 assembly web server that implements HTTP/1.1 with CGI support, file uploads, range requests, and security measures entirely through syscalls. It's interesting because it demonstrates that a non-trivial, featureful web server can be built from scratch in assembly, pushing the boundaries of low-level systems programming.

Target audience: backend devs
