SimpleTweet is open-source software that takes twitter but makes it more simple. The software is written in php, and uses the assistance of Curl/Json as well. This software is in the very very early stages and the design of the software is still questionable on how its going to turn out. The current design is rather simple, but not simple enough. The second of this project is to not use images - we want this page to load as fast as possible. Of course only very little has been made, but I have plans for an api to be made. For what exactly - we do not know yet.
Alright, so I did a bit of changing. First of all, the biggest change is the design. I got sick of it, and having it being in the center of the page makes it look ten times better. After that, I cleaned the code a bit and so forth. Now, your model must be named like this: NameModel when you declare it as a class (i.e class NameModel extends Model). Same goes for Controllers. I also added a little time thingy that prints out the time it took to make the page. By the end of this version, I need to have a: module system. On top of that maybe a basic api system. I also need to revise much of my code and make it more efficient. Also, if you haven't notice, config and bootstrap have changed dramatically. I also need to develop __get() and __set() for the controllers. You can expect in the next version maybe the __get() and __set(), some code clean up, and a better view system (the current one is quite bad).
Did some minor/major changes around the framework again. Model's are new defined inside of the controller; it MUST be in an array, even if its one model. I now added XML support, so you can recieve messages in xml; which I don't why I added support for it. JSON is way faster then xml, but I added support for people who will customize this for there need. I need to write an adapter for modules, should not be that hard. Also, there's a bug in the __autoload if a controller and model are the same name, it will load the model. A simple fix to this will be 'ControllerName'Controller, so IndexController extends Controller. Most likely going to do that next update. Oh yeah, I also developed a controller 'auto load' function. It gets the name of the page and loads it. So index.php will load the Index Controller.
Total overhaul. A framework was put in place and now its A LOT simpler (well, in a way you could say). The framework takes after a MVC approach. The Models and Controllers were developed fine, as for the view, there is only going to be one view, so index.php takes that place. Along with that, I got a pity bootstrap.php which I need to enhance, and I need to do a bit of renaming, considering config isn't the best name for where the magic happens.
Changes have happened to the index.php file and along with style.css in the /css/ folder.
