What is GraceSoft Core?

It's a dev's vision for a shared, reusable foundation tackling auth, webhooks, configs, and more—born from hating repetitive rebuilds across projects.

Why build a shared core for projects?

Because surveys show devs waste 40%+ on boilerplate; a common base lets you focus on unique logic, not plumbing.

Will GraceSoft Core replace frameworks like Rails?

Unlikely—it's a core layer, not a full framework. Think modular base to plug into your stack.
