It would be an interesting project, for an example of how to do a Guile
server side. What kind of library/framework/tool would you use for the
server side? I think the standard library webserver is still very bare
bones. So far I've not tried GNU Artanis. Would it be a good idea to use
that?

I've created some example code for the standard library web server:

But it has not progressed very far.
