In Piedmontese, plin means "pinch": the small gesture that seals the agnolotti del plin, Turin's most iconic pasta. Small, well-closed, nothing wasted. That's the idea behind every package here: focused on one job, tested, and ready to drop into a real project.
Most of these packages started as code written for client projects and were extracted once they proved useful twice. All MIT-licensed, all on Packagist.
