First thought: The opening tag line,
You can make great applications with PHP.
Is relatively underwhelming. It's like saying 'you can make great cakes with sugar.' - true, but not really saying a lot.
- pruhstal 16y agoSo many frameworks to choose from; why pick yours? Give me a single sentence mind-changer.
- MC27 16y agoI would prefer to see something of more substance, like a feature comparison table with other frameworks.
- EGreg 16y agoYeah I should put something there. I haven't thought of a single killer reason, except "it's faster, more powerful, takes advantage of PHP's unique strengths and encourages clean web programming"
- Qz 16y agoIF you don't have something concrete, make something up that sounds concrete, within the realm of puffery.
- EGreg 16y agoYeah, that's a good point. The site doesn't really sell the framework. Until now I haven't really devoted a lot of time to evangelizing it or anything. Beyond open sourcing it, I didn't really put in the time to grow a community around it. What I wrote here is more of an early notice to the hackers out there who are interested in developing kick-ass applications in PHP. If you ask me -- and I've gone through a lot of frameworks -- this is definitely designed to help you achieve that with a minimum of fuss and a lot of power. I finished the documentation, but the sales job needs a lot more work. If anyone wants to contribute their time and energy to helping me grow this open source project, I'd much appreciate it. You would definitely have a huge role in the framework community if you did that. At the moment, though, I am more focused on my startup, and bringing developers on board to help with it. The documentation is there to help get them up to speed.
