I don’t have any credible feedback for you.

I dislike php. That’s my feeling. The vibe.

When I’m browsing self hostable things I avoid php unless it’s really the only option.

My completely unsupported “feeling” is that apps written in php are awkward and clunky and just less pleasant to host.

I’m sorry if that offends you, and I don’t care at all what you think of my opinion.

I only mentioned “php apps feel old” because I could see you were some kind of php devotee and that it would trigger you. Maybe look into that.
