What it does
Leaf UI is a PHP library that allows you to build modern web apps and scaffold dynamic and interactive UIs using the same PHP you already know and love. It's fast, easy, and fun. It's the best of both worlds.
Leaf UI, our take on reactive interfaces in pure PHP, is retired as of Leaf 5. Here is the problem it set out to solve, why that problem no longer exists, and what to use instead.
That was Leaf UI's pitch, and Leaf 5 still keeps the promise. The Leaf UI library itself is retired, so here is where its job went, each one link away. The honest story of the retirement is further down. Came here for the history instead? The honest story of Leaf UI's retirement starts below. Making a button update a counter used to mean two languages, an API endpoint, a fetch call, and a state library, all to move one number. If PHP was where you thought, every interactive feature dragged you out of your own head. We wanted the whole loop in one place: No API layer, no context switch, one language.

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
