Over the last while, I’ve been building an open-source PHP ecosystem focused on small, composable libraries rather than a single monolith.
The result so far:
• 11 repositories
• ~40k lines of code total
• All MIT licensed
• Most libraries under 1k LOC
Keeping modules small has forced better boundaries, clearer APIs, and easier maintenance.
It’s been a good reminder that more code isn’t better — clearer code is. #php #webdev #programming #paas empathy.sh
