Here’s my demo from PhpUpstate of PHP on iOS that @simonhamp.me and @marcelpociot.bsky.social have been working on. Thank you @ericlbarnes.com from @laravelnews.com for recording it. Running PHP Natively on iOS - Live Demo from PHPUpstate Meetup youtu.be/i3CPRYegdvE

Alright, I know a lot of devs who are into board games. And for years I've been thinking about organizing a virtual "meetup" to chat and play some games with others. This works great with something like Tabletop Simulator on Steam. Would anyone be interested in this?

I could use your help gathering some data for my upcoming Laracon EU talk. If you ever had a slow Laravel application/slow request/slow command/etc. - what was the reason for it? Would be great to get as many replies as possible. Please share for reach 🙂

Purchasing Laravel Herd Pro last year has been a fantastic investment. It completely replaced Ray(), mailpit, and DBngin for me. Plus, it's compatible with WordPress, making it well worth the price, in my opinion. The Table Plus button on the DB service is also a nice touch.

The feeling of accomplishment when you finally fix a bug, or make something finally work is why I love coding so much.

I'm starting the new year with a bunch of exciting new ideas and experiments that need proof of concepts. The first one is already done - I'll share a video demonstrating this soon. The other idea is one of those " why has nobody done this yet?!" moments. Pumped for 2025!

A lot of the things we share in our year-in-review posts are about work - or code. But I wanted to share some photos of the people that I loved to hang out with this year. There were obviously more, but I can only share up to 4 photos 🙂 Can't wait to see y'all again 2025 ❤️

added full voice support to my OpenAI Realtime swift library now building a "ChatGPT Advanced Voice mode"-like app takes 3 lines of swift github.com/m1guelpf/swi...

Pretty cool - using php.new in my GitHub workflow makes it run ~1 minute faster 🚀

You don't wanna see the commit history leading up to this 😅

Today’s Tinkerwell update brings support for PHP 8.4, along with a built-in Testbench driver—a great productivity boost for every package developer! ✨ This is one of my favorite features from the past few months. Big thanks to @marcelpociot.bsky.social 🤝 tinkerwell.app

Updating your services in Laravel Herd should be as easy as a right-click

So how exactly *do* you build psychological safety for your team? Seems like a great idea, right - but where do you even start? At my @laracon.au talk last month, I identified some great concepts/ideas to help you get started. To watch the rest of the talk, head over to laracon.au/talks/dave-h....

Kyrian Obikwelu (he's not yet on here) just released whisper.php Making it super easy to turn audio files into text - all locally thanks to whisper.cpp 🔥 github.com/CodeWithKyri...

The feature I didn't know I needed in #Laravel Herd Pro... Intercepting dumps, so helpful!

Using "herd coverage" to generate code coverage feels like cheating 🙈

I think "herd open" is the CLI command I use the most. So simple, yet so useful

So the idea of the app is pretty simple. I want a menubar app that gives me a dashboard-style overview of all the key metrics I might care about. This could be data from Paddle, Fathom Analytics, Spotify, Bluesky, or data that I "push" to the app manually. Here's a prototype with some fake data

I have an idea for a new app. It's a combination of a desktop app and a backend and the best part of it is that I need this for myself anyway. So why not build it in public, right?

PHP 8.4.1 is here! 🎉 One-click to explore all new features in Laravel Herd

It doesn't just happen on your open-source project that you need to patch things immediately before the official release

It's PHP 8.4 release day 🎉 I can't wait to get rid of all these gnarly parentheses when chaining methods on "new" objects!
