Really Simple Framework

This is an "under construction" page and should probably be replaced by a wiki.
This project is not really public yet, but since a friend has linked to it, I can't leave this empty.

Intro

RSF is a small framework for building small websites. The kind of website you'd be tempted to write from scratch, because it's just not worth the setup of something big. The kind of website which you want to build, but not maintain.
So the main characteristics are:

  1. Easy to pass on to someone else
    1. Very common technology
      1. PHP 4 or 5
      2. MySQL 4 or 5
      3. Apache + mod_rewrite
    2. Learning curve of 1 hour or less
      1. Excellent documentation
      2. Less than 1000 lines of code 1
    3. Easy troubleshooting
      1. Logging
      2. Diagnostics page with common issues
  2. Fast development
    1. Model View Controller
    2. Implicit Model (deduced from database tables)
    3. Generated admin interface
  3. Reasonable performance
    1. Not too much added indirection
    2. Caching

  1. This needed some creative accounting. RSF has less than 1000 lines of "non-trivial code". A trivial line contains only whitespace, comments, or brackets. These lines could be collapsed with the non-trivial lines, but at the cost of readability.
