I’m thrilled to invite you to collaborate on MonkeysLegion, our lightweight, attribute-driven PHP framework built from the ground up—no Symfony/Laravel dependencies required.
Visit our website https://monkeyslegion.com
Why MonkeysLegion?
• Modern Design: Leverage PHP 8 attributes for entities, relationships, validation, and migrations.
• Flexibility: Plug in exactly the components you need—ORM, service container, CLI tooling—without the bloat.
• Performance: Optimized core for blazing-fast routing and minimal memory footprint.
• Community-First: Your ideas, feedback, and code will shape the future of the framework.
We’re looking for help with:
Enhancing middleware and event dispatching
Expanding database migration commands
Improving documentation and tutorials
Building integrations (e.g., caching, queueing, GraphQL)
