Show HN: Wireframe – A Simple PHP Framework with Routing and Templating

I chuckled when I expected simplicity and get smacked with a ton of process and dependencies that could be (and would be) thrown away. If someone wants to use these, they will include them.

Bootstrap Sass Bower NPM and Gulp

Here is some of my comments:

Don't hardcode error levels like you do in your bootstrap file (wireframe.php)

    ini_set('display_errors', 1);

I am not a fan of setting title from some HTML comments, I can't really understand why you would do this when writing a PHP framework, as you wouldn't be able to make dynamic titles.

While nothing wrong with this code as such:

    if (file_exists($file)) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }

It is unnecessary to explicitly return true or false,

    return file_exists($file); 

Would have done the same...

Lastly I really think that you should consider using PSR-4 style autoloading for your internal classes, I see no point in not doing it.

I recently wrote Wireframe to practice with PHP and get a better understanding of how frameworks function. It's not intended to solve any problems that other frameworks don't already solve, though it does serve a practical purpose for me personally.

As this is my first attempt (well, version 2 of my first attempt), I welcome any feedback, critique, or pointers to where I can improve.
