Howdy! I'm a recent PHP convert after a decade of laughing at PHP memes on r/programmerhumor, and wanted to dive a bit deeper into the language by building something practical with it. I also love beer and decided to combine the two by building a PHP library for the Open Brewery DB API (https://openbrewerydb.org/). Hope someone finds it useful!

We're trying to build a wrapper to fix inconsistencies in PHP's core functions, but the project has kind of stalled for a month (personally, I've been crazy-busy with work). Does anyone feels like joining the effort..? This is the repo: https://github.com/nkkollaw/zubr/

After I posted about https://cosme.dev/ask-docs on Reddit I received some messages asking me how If I was going to make the code open source or if I could show them how I did it. So I decided to create this repo so you can take a look at the code and maybe apply the same techniques on your own apps. It's made using only PHP as language so I think is pretty different since most stuff out there is made using python or javascript. It uses the OpenAI API and Redis as a vector database.

First, I'm by no mean a programmer. Second, I am reading HN for years, just registered to make this public and see if it can be useful for someone. I have nothing to gain monetary. A while ago, I decided that no blogging system was simple enough and I looked for a small wiki to use as a CMS/blog. Found WikWiki on C2.com and I mixed it with some basic Markdown syntax, a minimal template and added password protection. The result is a single php file, no database and no dependencies.
