What is Lace PHP

An Offline-First, API-First Microframework

An offline-first, API-first PHP micro-framework with a fresh approach to how we develop with framework. We built it for people with limited programming knowledge who do not care how the system works but just want to ship projects quickly, as well as for developers who enjoy exploring how things work. Whatever you are building, LacePHP helps you “lace” things together.
