🔗 Introducing PHP Operators

Blog post time! We use Inertia & Livewire at Spatie. Why both? When which? Many questions, many answers! But if you want a definitive answer to which one is better, prepare to be disappointed. spatie.be/blog/livewir...

@wesbos.com Hi! During your dotJS talk you mentioned you had a utility that notifies when your browser's framerate drops during development. Is this something open source?

@sdw.bsky.social Hey! The Orion site seems to be down orion.tube

Does Inertia have a way to always include data in the initial request, but have it lazy in subsequent requests? Kind of like `Inertia::lazy` but included on first load? I could probably whip something up looking at the request headers but wondering if I'm missing a more idiomatic solution.

Tailwind 4's ability to set arbitrary CSS variables and the shorthand syntax are 💯

Any way in or plugin for @obsidian.md to copy Markdown as formatted text?

Any tips for handling large #Laravel Horizon jobs more effectively? Getting [job] attempted too many times usually points to OOM/timeouts, but debugging is tough - especially with 30min+ execution times and retries. What's your approach?

@calebporzio.bsky.social Building a SPA-like experience for a small Livewire app, and wish wire.navigate had some kind of preserve scroll modifier like Inertia has 👀 inertiajs.com/links#scroll...

Anyone have Paris dinner recommendations?

Celebrated late Thanksgiving on Sunday. First time I did the bird and stuffing, pretty happy with how they came out!

Go get this! With the new version we are cooking you are in for a treat!

You need to align two block elements alongside each other with CSS. What's your default these days? display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); vs. display: flex;

HQ reports that a glitch was found in today's challenge on topsecret.spatie.be. We have corrected it and updated your briefing and hint. Stay sharp, agents, including us.

Chiggidy check it: New Livewire directive I cooked up this morning: wire:current Super clean way to slap some Tailwind on a link that matches the current URL (works with wire:navigate and @ persist and what not obv) Dig it: livewire.laravel.com/docs/wire-cu...

Don't keep your contact waiting, agent. Submit your decoded message today on https://buff.ly/3V72sY0 and you will be incentivized with some neat prizes.

Had a blast building this one! Unlock our ciphers and earn some extra black friday discounts

S.P.A.T.I.E. invites its would-be agents to their first briefing. Find your objective on Monday 25th at 9:00 CET at topsecret.spatie.be. Don't be late.

For the past few months I've been curating a biweekly newsletter for webdevs via @spatie.be. It's called href.email. If you haven't subscribed yet, check it out!

I'm building a UI in React with distinctly different mobile and desktop navigations. How would you conditionally render them? a) Render both, use CSS to hide/display the right one b) Determine viewport width in JS and conditionally render one of the two

📚

Thanks to the @spatie.be newsletter href.email I just found out, that you can use a custom domain for your @bsky.app handle. I think @sandro.gehri.dev just looks very nice 💅

Can't live without this anymore. With this Karabiner script you can map Caps Lock to both Esc and a hyper key (Shift+Ctrl+Opt+Cmd) at the same time (escape on tap, hyper on hold). Super useful for global app shortcuts! brettterpstra.com/2017/06/15/a...

Niche question, but any Karabiner elements users here bitten by the recent update that forces you to choose a keyboard layout? My layout is not in the list they provide and I have no idea how to configure this thing anymore. I use Karabiner elements for a hyper key, other apps/solutions welcome!

@calebporzio.bsky.social If you ever decode to tackle charts, I’m still waiting for someone nuts enough to build a server-side Blade/Livewire SVG chart renderer 📈 Imagine charts with no load time and building custom HTML tooltips in Blade 😎

so fuckin nice to simply post and not consider even for a moment the algorithmic ramifications of sharing something cool that you like via a hyperlink

Here to talk #laravel!

Morning light in Antwerp 🌇

Hello, world!
