Almost 4300 Artisans on Laramap 🔥 Who's gonna be number 4300?

I have wanted to ship a list view for Laramap for months. Both the desktop and mobile views are nearly complete, but every time I am ready to launch, I notice an issue with the map interaction. Each time I fix one bug, I end up introducing another. Maps are hard! 😬

This Wednesday, March 25th, we meet in Zug at Xelon for our Laravel Switzerland meetup. 🎤 Yves — working with AI every day: the honest version 🎤 Serhii — building an OpenClaw alternative with with Laravel 12 & laravel/ai RSVP → luma.com/g2d0758i #Laravel #PHP

For my European developers considering US Conference travel: please note that it has now been confirmed that ICE will now be in US airports.

I always felt close to Sparky. It seems I'm more like Barney, though. I enjoy daytime naps and dark mode and I dislike getting up early and unanswered questions in the help channel, too. filamentphp.com/insights/ale...

For those who don't know our new Executive Director, Elizabeth Barron, she's written an introductory post on The PHP Foundation Blog that shares a bit about her background, her vision for the future, and how you can share your own PHP thoughts with her. #php #phpc thephp.foundation/blog/2026/03...

The guilt I feel for the privilege of tucking my girls in tonight because of my pure luck being born a white straight man in America. These girls were no less deserving.

Calling all cis women, trans women, and non-binary folks going to Laracon EU! We're sponsoring a Larabelles happy hour on Monday and would love if you can join us. RSVP ➡️ luma.com/61sdhh28 (Laravel world men: appreciate you helping raise awareness and sharing this 😊)

Ever wanted to know more about how Filament came to be what it is today? Take a trip down memory lane and learn a bit about Filament’s origins in today’s post (or just sit back and enjoy the nostalgia)! filamentphp.com/insights/ale...

And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: two new releases for Filament’s fifth birthday! We excited to introduce both the new Filament rebrand & mascots AND a new premium plugin: Filament Custom Dashboards

We gather this Thursday in Zürich at Liip for our regular meetup. Join us if you're around. You find talk details in our meetup page: www.meetup.com/laravel-swit...

I fixed several long-standing bugs and added some smaller feature requests to Filament Excel today. If you use it, check out the last three releases. If you have some bucks left consider supporting me through GitHub Sponsors so I can continue providing these plugins for free. ✌🏽

Over the weekend, I attempted to get Laravel Boost working while developing Laravel packages. This morning, I wrote a blog post about my workaround. denniskoch.dev/articles/202... #Laravel

I have so much admiration for the Americans who are putting their lives at risk by standing up to the regime that has shredded everything America was supposed to be. That said, if you are thinking of fleeing and want to chat about life as an American abroad, reach out.

Wrote a small blog post about hardcoded email addresses in Laravel. denniskoch.dev/articles/202... #Laravel

We’re back! Our first meetup of the year is next Thursday, January 22nd, at Ascent in Basel. We’ll be discussing the newly released Livewire v4 and take a look back at the past year of our meetups. See you there! Please RSVP now. www.meetup.com/laravel-swit...

The first 15 plugins are marked as ready for Filament v5 on the website, with 327 more to go. Since v5 is only Laravelenance release to support Livewire, updating the plugins should be straightforward. #FilamentPHP #Laravel

I just shipped support for Filament v5 across almost all my Filament plugins. Happy v5 release day! #Filamentphp #Laravel

We’ve launched Filament v5 and Filament Blueprint today! 🤖 Filament v5 adds support for the newly-released Livewire v4! Blueprint is a premium Laravel Boost extension that gives AI agents deep, structured knowledge of Filament, so they can write detailed implementation plans.

It's awesome to see one's plugin in a real product. Here's a demo of Filament Spotlight Pro on vucavoid.com showcasing it's seamless integration into any Filament panel. If you have integrated Spotlight Pro into any project, I'd love to receive your feedback or watch a demonstration. #Laravel

I am satisfied with the desktop version of the list view for Laramap. Clicking a profile will zoom in on the map. Once you close it using the button, the Escape key, or by clicking the map, it will return you to the previous map bounds unless you interact with the map. Next up: mobile interaction.

I just spent hours debugging an issue on Laramap, only to realize it's happening because it reaches the minZoom level. 🤦🏽

Hear me out: Imagine screen time apps, but designed as a lock for your fridge. "You opened your fridge 5 times in the last hour. Next unlock in 4 hours."

Popped into Elon's feed for the first time in probably a year. It's batshit crazy 🤣 Sad though how many tech people still think he's someone to look up to. There's plenty of other people who have made lots of money, you don't have to idolize Musk.

I decided to work on the list view for Laramap. It seems like an easy feature, and the desktop version was straightforward. However, getting the details of the map and list interaction right on mobile requires more effort. #Laravel #Laramap

Come and join these fantastic meetups.

Due to the festive season, most clients are still on holiday. This gives me some time to work on side projects. Now, I just need to choose which one to focus on. 😅

I've always enjoyed reading other people's year-in-review posts. Now that I have my own blog, it's time to write one too. Looking back, I probably should have been doing this for myself all along. Anyone has a year-in-review post they'd like to share for inspiration? 😅

Aaaand ... another Filament plugin out of the oven: 🏞️ A simple image comparison slider as an infolist entry component. Perfect for those before/after showcases. #Laravel #FilamentPhp

While Cloudflare takes down half the internet, you can play around with Laramap.dev. It's all hosted on a single VPS with Hetzner. #Laravel #Laramap

As Laramap becomes busier, I added a country filter so you don't get overwhelmed by so many Artisans. #Laravel #Laramap

After Composer 2.9 CLI security improvements, we're working on a transparency log for Packagist to strengthen PHP supply chain security, funded by the @sovereign.tech with help of the @thephpf.bsky.social and Private Packagist. Details at blog.packagist.com/strengthenin... #php #phpc #composerphp

Sorry, if I get too excited. But over 2000 developers from 140 countries on Laramap.dev is amazing. Strong communities in Iran, USA, Brazil and India. And the first person from Greenland and Taiwan. 🎉 #Laravel #Laramap

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

More than 100 countries are already represented on Laramap. It's fantastic to see the diversity within this community. laramap.dev #Laravel #Laramap
