Fun facts (or not) 🤡
- There is not a single line of JavaScript on this website.
- Only one array is used in this project. It is stored once and is never modified. The items come from a tagged iterator.
Why using Symfony? 🎶
Because I don't want to handle routing, templating, sessions, flash messages, custom error pages, caching, events, services manually... I think I've made my point.

But OK, if you really want, you can find the Laravel version here.
What is the difference with the Laravel version? 🤔
Absolutely none.
