Wow, Laramap is really taking off. I never expected so many fellow developers to sign up. Thanks to this amazing community. Additionally, the first companies have reached out to support the project. Huge thanks to @ploi.io and Chief Tools. #Laravel #Laramap

Hello, Brisbane! And hello Bruce, he’s hanging out at QUT all ready for @laracon.au. And if you see me, and want to have a chat, please say hi: whether it’s about @statamic.com, my talk from last year, or anything at all, look out for the bearded guy in Australian-exclusive super-rare Statamic hat.

It’s been a year today since I walked on stage at @laracon.au 2024 and opened up about my experiences with depression and anxiety. Mental health should be talked about. And with 2025’s conference just days away, a reminder to be aware of those around you who feel invisible. youtu.be/0kwNx93aha0

Apparently I’m the only dev in the village.

Does anyone else get absolute FOMO anxiety / exclusion anxiety in the lead up to a major event like @laracon.au? Just me? Awesome. I’m the shy guy freaking out about crowds and socialising.

Just want to pause for a moment to show everyone how darn incredible this is. Absolutely nailed it!

Flux uses Tiptap for its Editor component - offering incredible interoperability with Statamic's Bard fieldtype. With one catch: Flux's implementation returns HTML. Never fear, @joshhanley.au paired with me to help tweak the getter to get JSON instead. www.martyfriedel.com/blog/making-...

"What if my website could..." Working with Statamic makes answering this question so fun: you get a best-in-class content authoring experience, but also a foundation within the Laravel ecosystem that helps me be creative with how to answer that question. www.mity.com.au/blog/taking-...

Just a reminder, the next AU/NZ Statamic meetup is happening today at 2:00pm AEDT. Can't wait to see you there! Full details: www.mity.com.au/statamic/au-...

Can’t wait to get page turning. Really what I need right now.

Had a little stumble yesterday with a Statamic site not showing any assets: but they did actually exist. What gives? I'm surprised it took months to experience this issue, so took some time to dig in to the Asset Container Contents cache added in Feb 2025. www.martyfriedel.com/blog/underst...

I wonder if there's a way to get to Buffalo for @calebporzio.bsky.social's wire:live... and could use it as an excuse (again, seriously: wouldn't be the first time) to detour via NYC... 🧞‍♂️

2025 has been hard: boundaries repeatedly pushed, burnt out. I'm struggling. The first chapter of Donna McGeorge's upcoming "Red Brick Thinking" is hitting me hard. It is time for me to let go and create more space to work and live. I need to. Pre-order now: booktopia.kh4ffx.net/zx9WR6

Are you using the Two Factor for Statamic addon in your @statamic.com 5 site? With this addon now being a core feature in Statamic, when the time comes for you upgrade to Statamic 6, you'll need to make some changes. Check out the migration guide for full details: docs.mity.com.au/two-factor/s...

Shucks... 🥹 I made this video...

I flew to Melbourne to take over PHPxMEL with an evening choc-full of @statamic.com content. Want to add Livewire to your Statamic site? Or hook in to your Eloquent models? Let's take a look at how you can extend your Statamic site! youtu.be/cLyIQVS6OFg

Going from Design to @statamic.com in 40 mins at PHPxADL was so well received... but with Statamic 6 in alpha at the moment, wouldn't it be great if we could try again? youtu.be/oV5xPauQ2Lc This is one of three (yes, three!) talks that I gave at the Statamic takeover of PHPxMEL on 11th Sep 2025.

Hey Melbourne, are you ready? I’m on my way to takeover PHPxMEL with an evening full of @statamic.com! Can’t wait to see you there 🥳

That’s the face of a guy whose flight got delayed two hours, but was able to shift earlier. Way earlier. Like an hour’s time away. But who hadn’t packed yet. And had to leg it to the airport. But yes, made it, and boarding is soon: @phpxmel.com I’m coming for you!

This is a fact.

Someone is absolutely exhausted. The cat is asleep too.

Hey Melbourne, I'm coming for ya! Thursday 11th September, I'm bringing @statamic.com with me to takeover @phpxmel.com. RSVP online, and I can't wait to see you there! phpxmel.com/meetups/3283...

Worst part about Livewire forms? Remembering to include the 'form.' prefix on fields in the template. 🤦‍♂️ yes, I did it again.

Happy 1st September! The birthday promo emails are coming in. Yes, it's my birthday month. No milestone this year, but let's make me feel super special, visible and valued this year.

The new UI components, Vue 3 and @tiptap.dev 3 in @statamic.com 6 means your Bard extensions need to be upgraded. Want some help? Check out this guide that gets my long-running (since Statamic 3) Les Mills Class Types Bard addon ready for Statamic 6. www.martyfriedel.com/blog/updatin...

And with today done, all of my @statamic.com addons (there's 14 of them!) are ready for Statamic 6.

Isn't Logger for @statamic.com looking incredibly handsome in Statamic 6 using its new UI components?

The next online AU/NZ @statamic.com meetup is taking place on Thursday at 2:00pm AEST: www.mity.com.au/statamic/au-... This online meetup is open to anyone, but timed for the AU/NZ section of the world. If you want an in-person thing, I'll see you in Melbourne on September 11 at @phpxmel.com!

Exciting that @statamic.com 6 is in public alpha - meaning addon developers (like me) can ensure addons are running smoothly. Keep reading for an update on all of Mity Digital's addons:

How does one upload 9GB of assets to R2? With a multi-process queue, of course.

It's going... it's going... entries are in, and now mapping categories and related entries to each other. Let's gooooo!

Today's the big day! Yesterday was 74,000 assets and 1,500 listings.

A massive migration for a new @statamic.com site today. 9GB of assets. 56,000 entries. Of course I’ve written a script to help with this. I knew it’d take a while… but also my to-do list for the day is just this: and, well, it’s doing its thing on its own. So… what now?

Well, it's not. Yet. But soon. The Mity Docs site is being updated with support for multiple doc versions, and a rewrite of the docs to support v3. There's a v3 branch on Github in case you want to take a look: some new advanced features will be easier to implement when the docs are live.

Larabelles are giving away one ticket to @laracon.au! Don't miss out on the opportunity to level up your skills in the beautiful city of Brisbane. Enter by September 30, 2025, using this link: larabelles.com/giveaway/lar... Can't wait to see you there!

It'll be a quick little rewrite, they said. It's so simple. Yeah... ok... There's a few more tests I'd like to write, but Feedamic 3, the Atom and RSS generator for @statamic.com, is basically ready to go.

Feedamic 3 for @statamic.com gives you control. Here we have a modifier for the "content" field, but only when we have Sets in the field (yep, non-set Bard processing is built-in to Feedamic now), and only on the "blog" feed. Can your Atom/RSS generator do that?

Statamic partner call vibes. Which started at 11:30pm. So naturally Zack is fast asleep.

Anyone else? Or just me...

I know I've been promising Feedamic 3 for a while... guess what, it's nearly done! Anyone want to have a test? Still want to write some test cases given the sheer number of options and configs possible... but really happy with how it's shaping up.

Aww shucks, they called me a “superstar”.

Hold on tight... last night's @phpxadl.bsky.social talk is ready for you. Starting with a clean @statamic.com install and a site design in Figma, I put 40 minutes on the clock to see how much of a maintainable site we can build live. youtu.be/iFNRqy1xuZk

Feedamic fans, get excited. v3 is a total rewrite of the logic of generating your feed - and all for the better! Meaning whether your feed is limited to 10 entries or your entire 5,000 entry collection, memory usage remains the same, and is incredibly performant on large collections.

I’m a computer science nerd. I have a degree that tells me this. But I also have a second degree in Media Arts, majoring in interactive multimedia, and am competent with Premiere Pro. Super handy for making last night’s @phpxadl.bsky.social recording about @statamic.com look super schmick.

What a superb night presenting at @phpxadl.bsky.social tonight! Let’s see what happens when you put 40 minutes on the clock, have a site design in Figma, and a fresh @statamic.com install: let’s build it live! And I recorded it too: stay tuned for its release on the weekend. (PS: like my hoodie?)

In case you missed it, I'm bringing @statamic.com to @phpxadl.bsky.social tonight! In less than 12 hours, you'll be... well... I can't give it all away now, right? Full details and RSVP at: phpxadl.com/meetups/2902...

Friends are supposed to ask "and how are you going?" when having a conversation where you've just asked them that very question. Right? Or am I expecting too much?

Tomorrow I'm speaking at @phpxadl.bsky.social. And we're doing something in 30 minutes. So no pressure having a constant countdown timer on screen, right?

We've now sold over 50% of every ticket available this year! Early bird ends at midnight this Thursday 7th August. Don't miss out on your chance to #LevelUp at this year's #LaraconAU on November 13-15 laracon.au/attend

Google Cloud is one of the worst-designed and user-unfriendly products out there. What an absolute cluster, and over an hour later, still haven't done what I needed to do.
