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...

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

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

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

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.

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.
