Expand Up @@ -6,10 +6,19 @@ Just a simple user authentication solution inside a super-simple framework skele
(and comes with an auto-installer), using the future-proof official bcrypt password hashing/salting implementation of
PHP 5.5+, plus some nice features that will speed up the time from idea to first usable prototype application
dramatically. Nothing more. This project has its focus on hardcore simplicity. Everything is as simple as possible,
made for smaller projects and typical agency work. If you want to build massive corporate applications with all the
features modern frameworks have, then have a look at [Laravel](https://laravel.com), [Symfony](https://symfony.com) or
[Yii](https://www.yiiframework.com), but if you just want to create quickly small to mid-size applications, then HUGE
might be interesting for you.

applications with all the features modern frameworks have, then have a look at [Laravel](https://laravel.com),

that just works, then HUGE might be interesting for you.

HUGE's simple-as-possible architecture was inspired by several conference talks, slides and articles about huge
applications that - surprisingly and intentionally - go back to the basics of programming, using procedural programming,
static classes, extremely simple constructs, not-totally-DRY code etc. while keeping the code extremely readable
([StackOverflow](https://www.dev-metal.com/architecture-stackoverflow/), Wikipedia, SoundCloud). Plus, my experience
with several agencies and startups that built small applications for 100.000s of users with just a handful of files
within a few days, usually *without* a team of highly experienced senior developers.
Buzzwords: [KISS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle),
