Express: Request to add express middleware

[ameerthehacker]

I have developed a middleware for express which would remove all unused css styles from the template before rendering which would greatly increase the performance of websites written in express.

I would love to add this to expressjs organization and maintain it. By that way I would love to join your team.

Hey @ameerthehacker, thanks for posting about your project, and expressing interest in express. Personally I do not think it is a good idea for the express org to have some of the modules it already does, but history has led to it having some higher level middleware. As it stands, the express core is focused more on the lower level stuff and I think it should stay that way.

I would be interested what the other contributors think about middleware like yours, but maybe the best approach would be to look for issues in the express.com repo which talk about featuring helpful middleware. And if you cannot find one, start the discussion.

This is my thoughts as well

I think this is a good idea 👍

The express is unopinionated and minimalist without batteries included! Buy the way good job!
