Most PHP frameworks today feel heavy, over-abstracted, and hard to reason about.
I wanted something different:
a small, readable, dependency-free PHP framework that I could fully understand and control.
So I built z-engine.
z-engine is a minimal PHP framework focused on:
- Simplicity over features
- Explicit code over magic
- Small core, easy to read
- Service container–based architecture

This is an early-stage project.
I'd love feedback on architecture, naming, or missing pieces.
PRs and issues are welcome.
