I was planning writing code from scratch , for my site  aboutlose.win

But it is a long plan, and I now want to use an Application Development Framework.

What do you guys think of CodeIgniter?

CodeIgniter is a pretty good PHP framework using Model View Controller. I haven't personally used it but I know some people that have and they liked it.

I'd definitely recommend you try it out and see how it goes.

I worked with CodeIgniter in the past. It is one of the best documented php frameworks out there. The community also provides a bunch of good tutorials. Ideal for beginners. If you have some more experiences with MVC then I would recommend lavarel framework for you.

CodeIgniter is pretty good...Maybe even the best framework for developing web apps with PHP.
Although,what's the point of the site?The name looks kinda interesteing  ;D

 Lavarel framework is very good it's built to be simple, easy to learn and supports rapid application development.

Also take a look at CakePHP.

 My thought CodeIgniter is lighter PHP framework ever I seen.

 enable you to develop projects much faster than you could if you were writing code from scratch with a small footprint.

This is a site about lose & win 

So name aboutlose.win

Yes lavarel is being quite popular these days however codeigniter is also pretty good framework but you need to know some basic of php to use any of these frameworks.

You can also have a look at this list of popular php frameworks http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/best-php-frameworks/

 Why do you need a framework! it is better to use your code, even if it was an ugly at first your programming.

A framework would be a lot easier to use, especially for someone who is not amazing at programming.

Also OP, if you need help, you could try hiring someone in the services section, there are a lot of talented coders on bitcointalk.

Frameworks also tend to keep the code more organized and easier to maintain, especially on larger projects. It also helps to eliminate some of the "recreating the wheel" issues by implementing some commonly used features to simplify creating your project and allow you to focus on the core code.

Codeigniter, Yii2, Laravel. Worked on em all. My favorite for now is Yii2 for bunch of personal reasons. I would suggest against "not usgin framework" because frameworks keep you focused on your code, speed up process of development (no need to develop thatgs that are already developed very well), and keep you in place as far as organizing your code goes. I m ight say that using frameworks made me better developer. Now, when i write code out of frameworks, i write it in better organized way than before.

Use laravel, they have great  documentation and community.

For simple API framework you can try SLIM framework. There's no crud builder for SLIM, but this framework really fast.
