microlight (or µLight, or µlite, etc)

Why?

Microlight is a blogging engine based on IndieWeb-based concepts. This means support for:

POSSE (posting on your site, automatically posting to other social media sites, and linking the two together)
- This means comments and replies on those social media websites will also appear on your site underneath the post
Post formats:
- Note ("tweets")
- Article (blog posts)
- Photo
- Video
- And more! (See PostType)
Replies
- Other people with an IndieWeb compatible website will be able to post comments on your blog using their own website as an account
Owning your identity
- Your website is a corner of the internet you own - no company keeps a-hold of the information you post to it

PHP 7 or above
While in theory microlight should work on PHP 5.6, this version is no longer supported by the PHP group, and so I will not be testing it on any version below 7.
PDO SQLite/MySQL
Currently, the table creation functions are written purely for SQLite (this will be added for MySQL shortly), although fetch posts and inserting posts are fully functional using MySQL.
GD Image Processing Library
For image uploads. This extension can be enabled in your php.ini file, or by installing php-gd, depending on your distro.
Apache or Nginx
To prevent your SQLite database from being directly downloaded, you should run microlight in an Apache or Nginx server. In the future, pretty-URL support will also be enabled for those doing so, when it is eventually developed.

Whilst in development, microlight has not been tested on a macOS or Windows server, only on Arch Linux. Until I have at least confirmed it working on Windows, your mileage may vary.
This is mainly a personal project. I would love suggestions for new features, although if they do not align with my goals for this software, I am not likely to implement them. You are, of course, welcome to add features by submitting a pull request! 😁
