Pick your framework.
Start building.

It should take two minutes to go from "I want to build something" to "the server is running." Not twenty. Not an hour reading documentation about virtual environments, PHP extensions, or Node version managers.

Donk ships with 22 framework templates. Each one knows its runtime, its default port, its start command, and the flags that make development mode actually useful. You pick the template, point at your project folder — or let Donk create a new one — and start building.
