I'm working on a similar project, although mine isn't OS yet. Overall, I enjoyed looking at some of the decisions you made! Good job.

Might I suggest a few tools that have really helped me:

[1 CodeSniffer - Set up some code rules!

[2] Codacy - Good PHP support / An alternative is CodeClimate

[3] PSR guidelines - This should help with some standardizing.

I'll be reviewing this more in depth later. Best of luck!

Thanks, now mines out there I might clean it up. It was just sitting there and I figured, why not show someone and get some feedback...

I would recommend adopting more modern coding guidelines and techniques i.e. DI instead of singletons. When you are writing your own framework I would highly encourage looking at other frameworks to learn from them.

Well, I would (should) change the database class and router to be DI, but as for the other (few) singletons, they aren't used that much and are only sprinkled in places. I prefer the cleaner look with lazy-loading, just my opinion...
