How jemcv/lihimboard works

LihimBoard is an anonymous imageboard. A browser request enters through the public front controller, is dispatched by the router to a route callback, and reaches a controller that coordinates models and renders a view; posting and commenting also write user-submitted content. The graph includes documented browsing, category, search, featured-post, tripcode, and theme capabilities. Model internals and several feature implementations were not sampled, so links to their likely storage behavior are omitted.

Main entry points: PostController.php Post controller · ControllerFactory.php Controller factory · HomeController.php Home controller · CategoryController.php Category controller
