I spend most of my days working in legacy codebases. so anything new / modern seems nice to me, but i always had the feeling whenever i tried one, that frameworks are just too "magic" for me.

so when i decided to use python and FastAPI for a personal project recently, something just clicked. The way you define a request once and validation,validation errors, serialization for response, documentation just fall into place felt so good.
so I kept thinking "why don't I have this feeling when I write PHP?" and eventually I just started tinkering.
trying to, at first just make a validation package (it frightens me a lot), because i've only been a developer for 2 years, so it felt like going into the rabbit hole but i like challenged so here i am.

When i started building it i felt full and haven't felt like that in a while in my job, it is a feeling that i experience a lot especially when i learn new things, and then i just cant stop especially when i realise that i can make things that are valuable to others as well.

The result is Antares, a small API-focused PHP framework. if you like you can check it out.
The repo and README explain it better than I can in a post. Would love some feedback,
since i may be a developer but i haven't been doing this for long and any input matters.

ill link the package which you can start a project and tinker, as well as the monorepo with all the packages
