We at Orbisius love simplicity, minimalism, performance and security.
All frameworks strive to put as many features as possible. Initially this sounds like a very good idea but in the long term it's not.
We build different web applications and wanted to use only the plugins that are really required for that specific project/product. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's pure perfection!
No need for loading/scanning for translation files if the site/app is going to be in English.
No need for admin area if the site is going to be a landing page which reduces the risk of hacks.
No need for a database if it's going to be just a landing page generated using AI. So it's fast and easy to set up.
We aim to make Djebel super easy for developers too, so they can easily create plugins which will be the building blocks for various applications and even a marketplace.
Djebel will not assume or force you to run software that you're not going to use. This is the main reason that we believe everything should be a plugin, so you can pick and choose.
Svetoslav Marinov, the founder of Orbisius decided to invest some time and build this web app framework with the hope that it would be useful.
