Laravel Cloud is truly a masterpiece.

I created a little side project for a friend that imports .xlsx files and exports .docx files with filters and edits in between.

I developed the app in two days and deployed it in a minute.

Tried Claude Code.

I simultaneously work on multiple projects, manually accepting changes through PhpStorm's diff view. My ADHD brain loves that.

- Great UX/UI/workflow/configs 😍
- IDE integration 😎
- Doesn't rly know FluxUI 😅

I have a love-hate relationship with AI, LLMs, and agents.

Some days, they make me feel proud and joyful about being productive.

Other days, I end up frustrated. They take away the enjoyment I find in coding, and I feel like a manager with an incompetent team.

Oh no, someone has already bought the domain I wanted! 😅

I went to the URL
Checked the registrar
Realized that I was the one who bought it 🤣

I wanted to try a new registrar for Unolia and forgot.

If you use the Saloon package to send outgoing API requests and you don't see them on Nightwatch, I've got the solution.

A month ago, at an indie hackers meetup, I introduced myself as a PHP developer. As usual, I received some gentle mockery about PHP.

Then I showed unolia.com, built with Laravel + Livewire (TALL stack).

They were left speechless when they saw the responsiveness 😎

I wanted to know if I should take the Laravel Shift Latest Unlimited plan or not 🤔

In one prompt, Claude 4 Sonnet (thinking) made me a little PHP script to calculate my future expenses 💁‍♂️

SaaS idea 💡

Put an AI/LLM between your documentation and your forum/Discord/community.

It reads your forums and proposes changes to the documentation for the most frequently asked questions.

🔥 It's here: NativePHP for Mobile has officially launched

#Laravel #PHP

Interesting fact 🧐

GitHub workflows are much faster than what we see on the website!

On zephpyr.com, I manually trigger a workflow through the API and fetch the results and it only takes a few seconds ⚡

I made an iOS app a few hours before Laracon EU. Now I have the same capability for Android. #betatester

NativePHP for mobile is around the corner, and it's awesome! 🤯 🚀

If you are a Laravel developer, take your license while it's discounted. You won't regret it.

NativePHP v1 is out 🎉🔥

I’m extremely proud to be part of this team. We gave everything we could to bring PHP to new places and improve the developer experience.

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Money Quote (pun intended) from @passbolt's blog post:

„If your business depends on PHP, whether you’re running a Laravel-powered SaaS, maintaining a WordPress competitor, or building something totally unique, you should consider supporting the PHP Foundation too.”

I rewrote unolia.com with FluxUI.

Small details make big differences.

This is how I wasted 3 days:

I like the new appearance of the Discord app.

The small details make it 10 times cleaner.

Tips of the day:

Use @raycastapp to monitor your GitHub pull requests.

It's configurable and can reside in your menu bar.

If you don't know Raycast yet, you're missing out:

I don’t miss the Touch Bar, and I’m surprised.

I used it every day in my workflow, and I have not reached for it once since getting my new MacBook Pro.

I’m kind of disappointed. I suppose it looked cool but wasn’t that useful.

I only install Chrome for Laravel Dusk at this point.

Tests (units and e2e) have saved me twice after this big refactoring, including finding that my registration form was not working anymore.

Also, I’m looking forward to this 👀
