So have you signed up for early access of the custom Filament theme designer yet? You might want get on the list now. That’s all I’m saying. 🤫 filamentthemes.com/themes/custom

Have you seen the new factory “insert” method introduced in last week’s Laravel release? Just used it to refactor store creation for the Filament Themes demo — so much cleaner. 🤤 Thanks @cosmastech.bsky.social! 🫶

Woohoo! Safari is finally usable again. 😂 Thanks for listening to the complaints, Apple. 🍎

Tiny details like this button loading state are such a joy to work on… Don’t ask me why 😂

Pro tips when using Git hooks in your Laravel project 👇 1. Store hooks in .hooks to version them with Git. 2. Add "git config core.hooksPath .hooks" to your Composer setup script to link the hooks during setup after cloning the repo. Super easy, zero dependencies.

I stopped using em dashes — afraid they made everything I write look like ChatGPT. You know what? Fuck that. I’m back — with em dashes. 😂

I just set up pre-commit Git hooks in all my projects—should’ve done this much sooner! No more manually running commands or waiting on CI pipelines. Want me to show you how to set up hooks super easily? Drop a comment below! 👇

Had a great afternoon demoing the custom Filament theme designer to a developer friend. Got some really helpful feedback, and I think I’m ready to invite the next round of early access users next week! So exciiiitiiiingggg 😄 If you’re eager to get started, let me know below 👇

I’m wondering if PHP property hooks can fully replace Laravel’s accessors and mutators on Eloquent models. Has anyone tried relying only on native hooks instead of Eloquent’s feature? Any limitations you’ve hit?

Trash your banners, callouts, toasts, and notifications. Inline feedback is often enough: clear, unobtrusive, and right where the user is focused. 👇

Gotta love a good-looking, fully accessible, keyboard-controllable tabs component. 🤤

Okay, I found the perfect way to write Blade + Alpine.js components. 👇 Blade, CSS, and JS, all grouped in a single component folder. Can’t imagine doing it any other way now…

Even better for simple single-line getters... 👇

Using PHP property hooks a lot lately. Absolutely love this “memoized computed property” pattern. It ensures computationally heavy class properties are calculated only once, even when accessed multiple times. So much cleaner than a separate method and property. 🤤

Did you know @filamentphp can auto-discover custom Livewire components in your panel? Just like it does for resources, pages, and widgets. Perfect for keeping panel-specific components organized, scoped to the panel, and alongside your main folders. 👌

Working hard to become a true bake-end developer… 🥖

Did you know macOS now has a clipboard manager built into Spotlight? (Only took them how many years? 😂) Just press command + space and then command + 4. Really digging the Spotlight improvements in macOS Tahoe in general! 👍

Discussion settled once and for all! The absolute truth, Nielsen Norman Group, tells you to not repeat password fields! 🤣

Had an interesting session helping architect an internal Filament plugin. Explored how Filament’s core patterns can be applied to custom plugins to improve flexibility and maintainability. It always excites me to see what you’re all working on 😄

Fun fact: Laravel’s latest products, Nightwatch and Cloud, also follow the single-password-field pattern at sign-up! 😄 Laravel Cloud even leaves out the name field. Makes me wonder if that would be an even better approach...

Unpopular opinion: “Confirm password” fields are bad. Forcing users to enter passwords twice adds friction and lowers conversion rates. Why optimize for a couple users who make a typo? Just let them reset their password. More friction for a few, less friction for most. 👌

Just realized using maxlength on HTML inputs is terrible for UX. Users get no clear signal when they suddenly can’t type more characters, and when pasting, they may not even notice that their text was truncated. Much better to allow any length and validate on the backend. 🔙🔚

Feels so good when a design finally comes together 😌

Waiting on you, Firefox... 😅

Just leveled up my CSS game: Used the cqi unit to fix a vertical layout shift on the Filament Themes site by computing block size from the container’s inline size. Such a powerful unit… especially when aspect-ratio can’t get the job done. Feeling like a pro 😂

Love this new pattern in iOS 26. 👇 Dialogs aren’t centered anymore, but appear right where you triggered them. Feels odd at first, but ultimately creates a much better UX! Shouldn’t we adopt this on the web too? 🤔

Many of you liked this approach, so here’s the code! Just add this single line to your app.js file, and the CSS from all your components will be automatically imported into your app’s stylesheet. 😎

Just wrapped up another successful session. 📞 One of the weirdest bugs I’ve ever seen. Turned out to be caused by a firewall blocking Livewire requests with very specific content. 🫠 Always a surprise what awaits on a call! 😆

Seeing a lot of misuse in Whizzy lately, so decided to fight it with robots. 😂 Now when you try to reuse a project for a different application, it automatically gets locked before you even get a chance to view the code. 🦾

Wanted to give macOS's built in Dictation another try instead of external tools. Works quite well, but... turns out you can't teach it new words. Or well, you can... It's totally ridiculous, but I now have Laravel and Livewire in my contacts just so it recognizes those. 😂

Dear macOS devs, I don’t care about the bugs, they’re ok. Just fix those later. Please, pretty please, let me get rid of this ugly huge MFer in my browser window. Thank you. 🍎❤️

I keep finding interesting quirks in this new macOS version. 😂 Was about to post that I love the new mail loading animation… …until the progress bar dropped back down after hitting 100%. Like, why, just why? 🤌

Good glassy morning everyone! ✨ Anyone else on the latest macOS already? 👀

Gotta love how “20 minutes remaining” changes to “22 hours” before jumping to “5 minutes” and getting stuck forever... 🐌 Yet, I’m here every time again. 😆 Hope I won’t regret this. 😅

This is The Way™

Had a great consulting session earlier this week. 🤙 Love how it always feels like helping a friend, even if we’ve never talked before. 😊 The Laravel community really is one big fam. 🫶

Laravel folks, what are you working on today? 🧑‍💻

Need help upgrading your Filament v3 applications to v4? ⬆️ I’m on call (literally ready to jump on a call and assist). 😄 Want to discuss your options first? Just reach out via the link below! 👇 whizzy.dev/sessions

Aaand it’s live! ✅ If you find anything that doesn’t look right, just let me know. 😊

Been working hard on upgrading the Filament Themes demo to v4. 🛠️ Also made some theme styling tweaks along the way to make them look even better. 😼 Deploying today or tomorrow hopefully! 🤞

Noticed these weird classes in the Filament Themes demo? 👇 They’re obfuscated to make the CSS harder to steal. 🥷🏻 I first built a custom Blade compiler for this, but since v4 dropped Blade components, I reworked it into a middleware that modifies the actual HTML response. 😊

Baking pancakes 🥞 for breakfast while hacking on Filament Themes. 👨‍💻 The perks of working from home. 😂

Writing the v4 upgrade guide for Filament Themes as we speak. ✍️ Just a couple small changes that take less than a minute. 👌 I’ll send out an email when it’s ready! 🙂

Filament v4 drops today! 🚀 To celebrate, I’m launching early access to “Custom Filament Themes”! 😊 🎨 Create your own unique Filament themes 📦 Install via Composer 🔄 Get automatic updates Sign up now to join the first wave! 👇

So you thought Filament v4 was the only thing launching tomorrow? 👀 You might want to be first in line for this one. 🎟️

I’m currently reworking Plennur to improve performance and UX. ✨ It’s just an ugly unstyled table for now, but it loads 1k rows in less than 200ms! 🔥 Don’t ever again tell me that Blade is slow. 😈

As solo maker it’s tempting to spend all your time on bug fixing and new feature development instead of doing marketing. 🫣 Sooo I spent last month on SEO for Plennur. 🥵 Such a grind, but looks like it’s already paying off! 📈

Identified a couple slow queries in key parts of my application using Laravel Nightwatch. 🌌 Just added the missing indexes and saw a 90% performance boost. 🔥 A quick win that significantly improves the experience for my users. 🙌

Just set up Laravel Nightwatch for one my SaaS platforms. 🦹 Will keep it running in the background today and report back on any interesting insights! 😎

There is a lot of confusion about using Filament with Tailwind CSS v3 in Laravel projects that have v4 installed. 🤔 So I wrote a guide on how to configure Vite to use both versions side by side. 📰 Link below, and let me know if you have any questions! 😊 filamentthemes.com/guides/how-t...
