Score: 4.8/10 (Innovation: 2, Technical: 5, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Dirjet is a Rust-based static file server packaged as an npm/bunx launcher that downloads and caches the native binary for your platform. It provides secure directory serving, single-file mode, SPA fallback, and standard HTTP features without needing a Rust toolchain. While well-executed, it largely duplicates functionality of existing static servers like `serve` or `http-server` with little novel innovation.

Target audience: frontend devs, full-stack devs, devops
