Thanks! This also started as an experiment with the goal of being very lightweight and simple to get started with.
Looking forward to seeing your public repo, apparently you can get a great discussion going on HN by putting it out there :)

This was a short term approach. The plan is to get to a routing file approach.

Thanks for all the comments so far. It's true, this project is not currently under active development. I would love to put more work into this project to make it into something that serves an unmet need out there. What's missing from the frameworks that currently exist?

This is a work in progress that I think could turn into a better CakePHP, but also has the potential to become something more similar to Sinatra and have the relationship to CakePHP that Sinatra has to Rails. Would love to get feedback on these two routes of development.
Ask HN: Who's looking for Ruby/Javascript startup employment near San Francisco?
This is a more specific version of the the previous post "Who's looking for employment" in hopes of narrowing the scope of the question. My company (styleowner.com) is hiring but this post is intended to help others who have the same specific need we do.ps. Our specific situation would allow telecommuters as well given the right amount of experience.
Passed quite a few steps, but a little stumped by one of them now....
Re:Ask HN: How much should we worry about competition?

I think learning from the mistakes of others is a smart thing to do. That being said, if you're confident that you know what your customers want then you should release it as soon as possible. Also, the sooner you can get feedback from customers, the sooner you can make improvements. If you wait for your competitor to release, you might be making your tweaks at the same time the competitor who released is making their tweaks but they're making tweaks based on feedback from their customers and you're guessing.
