First Factor One-Time Passwords for Laravel with OTPZ

Made a couple updates to the included templates after recording the video.

OTPz: A first factor one-time password package for Laravel github.com/benbjurstrom...

Needed a simple lightbox plugin for Alpine.js so I threw this together over the weekend. Just add x-zoomable to your img tag. Available on npm or via cdn: github.com/benbjurstrom...

My ideal Laravel login page looks something like this. Really don't like being responsible for user's passwords.

Created a log-in links package for Laravel and would love to get some feedback. Features: ✅ Rate limited ✅ Invalidated after first use ✅ Locked to the user's session ✅ Configurable expiration ✅ Detailed error messages ✅ Customizable mail template ✅ Auditable logs github.com/benbjurstrom...

Short on time so I’m spatchcocking this turkey on the grill. Should be done in an hour and a half.

Setup Starlink for my parents. Not bad at all. Now to mount it on the roof.

Feels like AI works even better with strongly typed languages. Just one-shotted a golang script to cut up a video clip based on chapter markers using FFmpeg.

If you grew up listening to Tupac stop what you're doing and go listen to Kendrick Lamar's reincarnated

Pretty happy with the API I settled on for [pgvector-scout](github.com/benbjurstrom...). Can set the index at the model level which then corresponds to a config value.

Added search to my Laravel markdown blogging engine. It's backed by an sqlite index so it should be somewhat performant. See it in action on the docs site at prezet.com Also thanks to @pixelcave-john.bsky.social for the pinemix.com command palette component.

It’s time

How can you search your data for a concept. Not a keyword. But rather something more abstract, like a category?

Here’s a quick guide on adding vector similarity search to your Laravel applications using pgvector and Laravel scout. benbjurstrom.com/pgvector-for...

Just tagged the first release of a Laravel Scout driver for pgvector search. Scout pairs perfectly with pgvector since its model observers keep the vector embeddings up to date. github.com/benbjurstrom...

Relaxing with some light devops work on a Friday afternoon.

Don’t know if everyone saw this, but please update the laravel framework in your projects to the current patch. It resolves a security issue. #laravel #security github.com/advisories/G...

This might actually be my favourite feature of PHP 8.4, such a small thing, but it'll be so great 😅

Just finished listening to this. Apparently Nightwatch runs a local agent that can batch up the metrics and send them off independent of the request. Meaning your Laravel app doesn’t need to make any extra outgoing HTTP or database requests. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Printed one I found on thingverse to tide me over until @arslan.io releases this far superior design

Post your workstation setup.

Excellent talk by @mandymichael.bsky.social on optimizing your HTML. I’ve used many of the HTML features mentioned, but never really understood how they work.

Nice writeup on Laravel's authentication events. https://darkghosthunter.medium.com/laravel-all-the-authentication-events-800165f69fb9

Since we're talking about kitchen items, I'm a big fan of this Chinese vegetable cleaver. The extra surface area helped me dial in a proper claw technique.

Speaking of feeds, there's no bookmarks/pinned posts here but if you pin this feed to your home page: bsky.app/profile/did:... Anything you reply to with "📌" emoji will be saved in there for you as a personal bookmark feed. If you see ppl replying to your post with this emoji, they're saving it.

If you want to see laravel specific post then checkout this feed bsky.app/profile/did:... you can also pin it to set it on your feeds tab

Anyone using spatie/laravel-passkeys? Seems to work correctly from everything I've tested despite the disclaimer THIS PACKAGE IS IN DEVELOPMENT, DO NOT USE (YET) github.com/spatie/larav...

This worked great! Found a lot of people to follow over here.

Added search to my Laravel markdown blogging package. It uses an sqlite index so it should be somewhat performant. See it in action at prezet/.com Also thanks to @pixelcave_john for the pinemix command palette component.

Tip: It's easy to setup a custom folder and controller if you have markdown files that you want to render with Prezet that shouldn't appear in your blog index. Handy for things like privacy policies and terms of service agreements.

Added some Flux components to a custom @filamentphp page. Was really easy to add the styles and scripts using the available blade stacks

Spent about an hour porting the latest @tailwindcss template to a Laravel app running Prezet.

Finally cracked 100 stars on GitHub ⭐️. Looking forward to getting more feedback from users.

Finally got my markdown blog package to @phpstan level 9. prezet.\com

Go from markdown files to a @laravelphp powered blog in seconds with Prezet. prezet./com

Added GA4 to a site using @cloudflare Zaraz. Still seeing PageSpeed performance scores of 97+. How am I just finding out about this?

Updated https://prezet.com/ to use its own Tailwind config & CSS files by default. No more style conflicts with your existing Laravel app.

Added a new blade component to Prezet. Now you can add alert style callouts to your markdown.

. @YouTube @YouTube @Google for the 1,000th time this week I’m not trying to recover my account. How do I make this shit stop?

Wrote some documentation on deploying Laravel powered content sites to AWS Lambda using @brefphp.

Finally moved my personal site away from NextJS. It's now a @laravelphp app deployed to AWS Lambda via @brefphp. Should be essentially free to host and it's fast.

Pretty good for a docs site running on Laravel

Launched Prezet on Product Hunt today. Difficult to get much traction over there but the backlink they give you helps with SEO. https://www.producthunt.com/posts/prezet

Many forms of CSS have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that @tailwindcss is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that @tailwindcss is the worst form of CSS except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to

Used @SourcegraphCody to generate some Pest PHP tests for a package I've been working on. Claude 3 Opus still seems to be miles ahead of GPT-4o for Laravel stuff. If you're curious about the quality of the tests I'll link them in a reply below.

The mobile friendly modal @calebporzio built for the Livewire Modals screencast is so incredibly good.
