Happy Monday, everyone!

Working on a new Statamic site this afternoon. Been in a bit of a funk for a while, but feels good to be back and having fun working on things again 😎

Working through cleaning up some things for the first v1 release of Torchlight Engine. Some things coming in this release: * Upgraded to Phiki 2 * New annotations 👀 * Improvements to the annotation parser Any features you'd like to see as part of this release?

Happy Thursday, everyone! Hope you all crush it today 🔥

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Thinking through quite a few things this evening. All good things

Happy Monday, everyone! Spent most of yesterday sleeping; feeling pretty good today!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

The one nice thing about starting the same project over for the 11th time is that the abstractions are starting to feel really good.

Thanks to a blizzard, I've spent a lot of time today working on Sheath! The core package is now complete and stable

Made a lot of progress on the Forte docs today, Sheath (the Blade linter), Temper (Laravel Blade/View reflection library) Going to go swap string gauges and enjoy the process of setting up a Floyd Rose

Forte rewrite is complete, and a new alpha just dropped. It was a grind, I am tired, but now I can work on the docs and all the other supporting packages and tools 🗡️

This last 10% push on the core Forte library has been stressing me out a bit - but I can see the finish line! 💅

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Been working on an incredibly stressful refactor. I am starting to see the finish line, though 😮‍💨

@ianlandsman.com you’ll be happy to know I have effectively Laravel newed a part of my project 😂

I just love it when a complex implementation upfront pays off in a big way at the end. 😊

Parsing HTML is a special kind of fun. Formatting it is a whole other level of fun

I'm wrapping up an extensive #statamic Antlers scope/papercut audit and preparing to start some refactors. Have anything you'd like me to consider while I work on this? 🫎💪

Happy Saturday, everyone! Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend so far

Working on porting the prettier Blade plugin test suite to the new PHP-based formatter. Its slow going making sure the behaviors are relatively consistent (while taking into consideration improved whitespace support). This is gonna take a while 🫠

Here's an early look at Hone - another library I am working to release at the same time as Forte. An over-powered #laravel #blade formatter, written in PHP.

A few extra folders have appeared 👀

It's 2025 and I'm working on a failing test directly related to Internet Explorer.

Happy Saturday, everyone! Hope you all are having an amazing weekend so far! 😊

Some progress from the weekend. Forte's error recovery and extensibility models are now extremely overpowered. Here's a short code example without a custom extension I wrote to test:

Working on expanding Forte's extensibility model. The parser already supports extensions, but after the day the tokenizer will as well 🔥

@ianlandsman.com Catching up on the latest MT - figured it'd be fun to provider some extra Forte lore. It's a full Blade+HTML parser and AST-manipulation library, with some infrastructure to safely opt-in to AST changes, add new Blade features (without modifying the core framework), and a lot more!

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Anyone got any ideas for cool logo/branding ideas for "Forte" - a robust HTML/Blade parser and AST manipulation library for Laravel? 🤔 Getting close to working on the documentation and site.

Working on the core Forte parser this morning. Making some expensive properties lazy-loaded or Just In Time. I'm pretty excited!

Doing some Livewire 4 and Phiki 2 source diving this weekend. Should be pretty chill!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

A fun look at something I've been chipping away at: leveling up the View Scaffolding feature in #statamic It generates templates, taking your blueprints and field configuration into consideration!

Another fun preview. Got timelines working for Livewire AJAX requests - and the timeline entries get associated with the live DOM tree (hovering over a view in this image highlights that node in the page):

It's always fun to see how systems break. I have a poorly designed app that I am stress testing the debugger with - I want the debugger to remain usable, even when observing an absolute flood of information from a badly designed app.

A quick progress update on my Alpine, Blade and Livewire dev tool project! I've been working hard on improving visualizations, adding features that I've always wanted (like hovering over an SVG element and seeing what it looks like), as well as some client-side performance monitoring!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Spending an unreasonable amount of time thinking about which colors best represent the following events: * View-related * Database-related * Everything else Should probably step away from the desk 😅

I have a grand vision, and an incredibly high bar, for what I think a really great Laravel, Alpine and Blade debug tool should be. I am making good progress towards that vision, though! 🧑‍💻💅

Went for a long walk to think through the solution to a tough problem. I think I've got all the edge cases sorted out; the solution isn't necessarily "simple", but I believe I've simplified it as much as I can. Well, back to it then!

Got something to work this evening that is even crazier than the previous stuff (but integrates with it very cleanly). Will work to clean it up and share it probably sometime next week

I've been a bit busy over the past few months! I've still been hard at work on Forte, a new Blade and HTML parser, but also a secret project built with it! High-level, I've been working on a browser-based development tool, focused on Alpine, Livewire, and Laravel Blade.

A little over 4 days left in the month to reach my overly-ambitious goal. Thinking about the scope that's left, I should be able to make it!

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Felt like I haven't really made much progress on things, but took a moment to look at everything built behind the scenes over the last month or so. And yea, its a lot 😅

Oldest kiddo just used Forge to deploy a site for a high school presentation. Two things: 1. I feel old 2. Forge is still my favorite

There are so many things I want to get done today

Happy Saturday, everyone!
