The aim of Floe is to build web applications using the principles of todo.txt

The Floe package includes a command line tool for creating and managing application components and a tightly focused PHP5 library for plugging in high performance server functionality with lightweight overhead.

Floe emerged from an set of PHP libraries, developed for internal projects at NZ web firms Shift and ChromeToaster. The current architecture is based on a framework cobbled together for the Code Blacks team, who used it to build the winning website in the inaugural FullCodePress event in Sydney on August 18th, 2007.

Floe might be an obvious reference, but it is actually named after a certain musical composition.
