How does it work

tinymash is built around the PHP (8.4.1+) platform. It uses a few extra components to accomplish its work:

• Flight, a lightweight framework for PHP
• Symfony mailer, a frontend toolkit (CSS + JS)
• Bootstrap, a frontend toolkit (CSS + JS)
• Bootstrap Icons, an open source icon library
• League/commonmark, Markdown parser
• highlight.js, syntax highlighter

There are a few other dependencies as well, where I felt that re-use was better than re-write.

The tinymash codebase is typically validated with PHP 8.1, 8.3, and 8.4.x. Where possible, it is backwards compatible with versions earlier than 8.4, but PHP 8.4.1+ will remain a "system requirement" just to be on the safe side 😉

You'll need a web server like Nginx or Apache as well.

tinymash can run in as little as 16MB of available memory for PHP.
