🚀 Hello, VeltoPHP Community Forum is Alive !

Hey fellow developers!

We're excited to announce that the VeltoPHP Community Forum is now live — a modern, lightweight, and developer-first community platform built entirely from scratch using VeltoPHP 2.0.

VeltoPHP is our own open-source PHP framework that focuses on simplicity, modularity, and speed. No Laravel, no Symfony — just simple PHP, smart structure, basic JavaScript, and TailwindCSS.

Why We Built This?

We wanted a no-bloat, minimal alternative to traditional bulletin boards like phpBB. Something fast, easy to customize, and written with clean architecture in mind.

Think of it like a Next.js style framework for PHP — modular, fast, and highly developer-friendly.

What Makes VeltoPHP Community Forum Special

  • Fast-loading UI powered by TailwindCSS and modular PHP views
  • 100% written in VeltoPHP 2.0 (HMVC architecture)
  • Built with zero heavy dependencies
  • Clean UX with flat, distraction-free design
  • Features like thread bookmarks, tag mentions (@username), modals, emoji picker, and flash alerts
  • Easy to modify and self-host
  • Open-source and developer-first by design

We're actively improving both the forum and the framework. If you're:

Thanks for reading,
The VeltoPHP Team
