About the Project

This project is built with plain PHP. After spending a long time working with Laravel, I’m revisiting PHP’s Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and procedural programming paradigms.

In the near future, I plan to create a simple yet powerful PHP framework and rebuild this project using that framework. Stay tuned for updates, inshallah!
