+
+MintyPHP aims to be a full-stack PHP 7 (or 8) framework that is:
+
+  - Easy to learn
+  - Secure by design
+  - Light-weight
+
+By design, it does:
+
+  - … have one variable scope for all layers.
+  - … require you to write SQL queries (no ORM).
+  - … use PHP as a templating language.
+
+Mainly to make it easy to learn for PHP developers.

+
+## Quickstart (Docker)
+
+1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` (defaults are fine for local dev).
+2. Build and start the stack:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose up --build
+   ```
+
+3. Open the app at `http://localhost:8080`.
+4. Register a user, then visit `/admin` (protected route).
+5. phpMyAdmin is available at `http://localhost:8081`.
+
+### Notes
+
+- MintyPHP uses Memcached for its firewall cache; the compose stack includes a `memcached` service and the PHP container has the extension enabled.
+- `config/config.php` is generated and gitignored by default; adjust `.gitignore` if you want to commit it.
