Protevus Platform is a highly versatile and extensible application server platform for the Dart programming language. It is a hard fork of the Angel3 core, inspired by Express.js and Laravel, aiming to provide a familiar and Laravel-compatible API while leveraging the power of Dart.
Note: This repository contains the core code of the Protevus Platform. If you want to build an application using Protevus, visit the main Protevus repository.
Protevus Platform allows developers to leverage their existing Laravel knowledge and experience in the Dart ecosystem. It combines the best features of Angel3 with Laravel-inspired design patterns and APIs, creating a powerful and familiar environment for web application development.
The Protevus Platform project utilizes AI assistance in various aspects of its development process. We believe in leveraging the capabilities of AI to enhance productivity, code quality, and overall project progress while maintaining transparency and adhering to ethical practices.
The following AI tools and models have been primarily employed in the development of the Protevus Platform:
- Cursor (cursor.com)
- Continue (continue.dev)
- OpenRouter (openrouter.ai)
- Claude (claude.ai)
- Codestral (mistral.ai)
- Voyage (voyage.ai)
- Other tools and LLMs
While AI assistance has been invaluable in accelerating certain aspects of development, we adhere to strict guidelines to ensure quality, security, and ethical use of AI in our development process.
