## What it is
HUGE is a simple user-authentication solution embedded in a minimal PHP framework skeleton, using PHP's official bcrypt password hashing. It is designed for small projects, agency work, and quick prototypes, prioritizing hardcore simplicity over feature richness.

## Use cases
- add login and registration to a small php site
- quickly prototype a web app with user accounts
- learn how php password hashing and sessions work
- build a simple admin area with authentication
- bootstrap a small agency project with user auth out of the box

## When to choose
- you need a working login system in minutes for a small project
- you want readable, simple procedural php code without framework overhead
- you are building an mvp or quick draft that just needs auth

## When to avoid
- you are building a large corporate application needing a full-featured framework
- you need actively developed features or long-term support
- you require modern php framework ecosystems like laravel or symfony
