💡 The Problem & Inspiration (Circa 2021)

Back in 2021, deploying heavy frameworks like Laravel was often difficult or entirely impossible on budget shared hosting environments with strict memory caps and restricted SSH/Composer access.

I put immense effort into crafting FoxyMVC to serve as a fast, dependency-free, and accessible alternative that could run anywhere:

• Zero Heavy Dependencies: Blazing fast cold starts and negligible memory footprint.
• Universal Shared Hosting Compatibility: Runs smoothly even in the most restricted PHP 8 environments.
• Battle-Tested Engine: Formed the foundational architecture for many of my own production services, client products, and custom bots at the time.

🛠️ Key Highlights

• Clean MVC Architecture: Intuitive routing, controllers, views, and domain models.
• Modern PHP 8 Features: Leverages typed properties, attributes, and match expressions.
• Fast Request Dispatcher: Direct URL mapping without the overhead of heavy middleware pipelines.
