André is a solid Laravel/Vue/React developer. Worked closely with him during my time at Steadfast Collective. He's the fastest person I've seen convert a Figma design to TailwindCSS 😅 If you're on the hunt for a freelance full-stack dev, you should reach out to Andre!

In case you missed it, @statamic.com 6 has been released this week. And I think there are three standout features that will help improve the DX for devs, and the UX for content authors. What do you think? What's your top feature in Statamic 6? www.youtube.com/watch?v=q40Q...

Alongside Statamic 6, we also shipped SEO Pro 7 — with a whole pile of new features: 🚀 Structured Data/JSON-LD 🚀 Search Engine/OG Image Card previews 🚀 Improved reports 🚀 Localizable site defaults 🚀 Support for URL trailing slashes

I've just tagged v1.0.0 of Cargo! 📦🚀 Cargo is a comprehensive e-commerce addon for Statamic. It behaves like a first-class citizen - you model your content how you want, and Cargo fits in around it.

On the back of the Statamic 6 launch, I've tagged major versions for all of my addons: • Runway 9 • Cookie Notice 10 • Guest Entries 5 • Simple Commerce 8 Some of them contain notable changes ⬇️

Statamic 6 is here! It's been a year of hard work - so happy to have it out there! 🚀

IT'S HAPPENING!

To use our new Laravel Boost guidelines, run "php artisan boost:install" and select the statamic/cms guidelines. 🤖 We've also optimised the v6 docs for LLMs by creating ".md" versions of our docs and an /llms.txt index. bsky.app/profile/stat...

Just shipped Statamic 6 Beta 4 with @laravelphp Boost guidelines. Will this be the last release before 6.0 stable? We shall see!

Hey @statamic.com devs - with v6 now in beta, and a launch coming soon, some of our addons will require a major version number bump. Iconamic, Logger, Sticky Notes, Stripe Checkout, TinyMCE Cloud and Variable Number. Others are v5/v6 compatible. Check the docs for full details: docs.mity.com.au

They say AI is the end for developers. They say the job market is gone. They say learning to code is pointless. I don’t buy it. I think we're just getting started.

One of my favourite things about the Cargo docs is how toggling between Light/Dark mode and Antlers/Blade is instant, across all tabs. Such a small detail, but it makes me happy every time I see it in action.

Statamic 6 – now in beta! We ran an extra-long Alpha Phase (21 releases to be exact) so as many developers as possible could have time to test it out, get their addons upgrade-ready, and be aware of the breaking changes from v5. No rushing. No chaos. No surprises.

Just tagged another alpha of Cargo, with a few more things: - Support for "pay on delivery" - Improved the UX of the Order fieldtype - Added a format_money modifier - Added a hook to override how order numbers are generated Aiming to tag v1.0.0 later this month! 👀

Ever wanted to get stuck in to @statamic.com, but want to use your familiar Blade for templates? You can... and it is easy to get yourself started! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mdU...

Happy New Year! 🥳 🎇

Found some time this week to finish off a couple features for Cargo. Some of which I've had on the go for months 😅 - Dashboard Widgets - Order Timeline / Audit Log - PHP Actions

TIL that Ted Lasso existed wayyyy before the Apple TV show.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎁✝️

It's been *a lot*, but really proud of what our little team has been able to build this year. Time to rest... then ship v6 in 2026 🚀

Claude 4.5 and opencode.ai had a workout today!

🔥 Just tagged Statamic 6 *Alpha 19*. Probably only more alpha to go before beta with the final launch aimed for January. It's the beginning of an exciting new era.

Say hello to a brand new kind of prop in Inertia: Once Props! 💨 Once Props are evaluated only once on the server and then carried over to the next page that has the same prop. This is ideal for shared data that rarely changes or data that is huge or expensive to compute.

As of the next alpha, you'll be able to invalidate specific URLs via the Cache Manager utility. 🧹 Super handy for clearing pages you missed from your invalidation rules!

Just dropped Statamic 6 ALPHA 18 — look at that tiny little changelog. 😘 You might be wondering why we've been in alpha so long. Because we have 1 more thing to break (on purpose), and then it'll be a short beta before shipping final. ❤️

We just tagged Statamic 6 ALPHA 18! Such a *tiny* changelog.

New Book: Laravel for the Rest of Us laravel-news.com/laravel-for-...

Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends! 🦃

It's probably old news at this point, but I'm really liking Claude Code in the browser. I can give it a prompt when I'm in bed, then it'll be ready for me to review when I'm at my desk. Super handy! (I didn't write this prompt on my phone though 😄)

There are only ten of these. A limited run of Laravel for the Rest of Us hardback editions. They’re not for sale, but one could be yours ✨ Pre-order before 18 November at laravelfortherestofus.com, and you’ll be entered into a draw to win one of these limited-edition hardbacks.

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

The "Remember Me" checkbox is the biggest scam on the internet. Has anyone figured out what it actually does? 🫠

This is a really cool project by Dennis Koch. It's a shame there aren't more Scottish Laravel developers on there! laramap.dev/?utm_source...

Love this project by Dennis Koch: A community driven map showing Laravel developers across the world. laramap.dev/?utm_source=bsky Already noticed some new Laravel developers how haven't come to one of our meetups yet. 😅

Hacked on a utility called Tether at the weekend. Clone a package down, run Tether, select the package you wanna link and it'll configure a Composer repository & symlink Vite assets. 🔗 It's pretty scrappy, but hopefully it's useful to someone! github.com/duncanmccle...

Had a great time on Friday at the first Netherlands Statamic meetup! Hopefully the first of many. 🇳🇱 Thanks to the JustBetter team for hosting!
