😶 Mark casually writing ONE review comment as a real comment so that I cannot mark it as resolved is triggering some deep OCD-like feelings I didn't know I had… Also: we're finally getting close to adding FrankenPHP worker mode support in Tempest, which is great 😊

thank you for this vision! it's the best framework since ages (total fanboy here 😅) in my opinion it continues where fuelphp (which was my base for the past 10 years) failed to transition to modern PHP it's slick, it's fast, it's effing flexible and the debugging and stacktrace is fantastic

It's a very sad day for me today, as my IKEA Slabang clock died after almost 20 years. It was such a simple yet robust thing that just solved the problem it needed to solve, and kept doing its work for two decades. I once wrote a blogpost about it: stitcher.io/blog/my-ikea...
