Big thanks to them for sponsoring the Laravel community.
The March meetup is in the books.
Great turnout at Xelon in Zug — lots of new faces. Storm-related train delays meant we ended up with one speaker on the night, but the conversations made up for it.
Thanks to everyone who came out, and to Xelon for hosting.

I know! Just the demo @joe.codes showed in his talk convinced me. I'm so used to Livewire and that server-roundtrip delay, that I want to feel the "instant" response at least in one of my projects.
Thanks for reading it. :)
Published my Laracon EU 2026 recap. Lots of great talks this year — highlights for me were Dan Harrin on abstractions, Peter Suhm on unblocking users with AI, and Shane Rosenthal showing NativePHP rendering actual native iOS and Android elements.

Too bad it's already cooked. You could open up a "rescue submerged iPhones"-business. 😂

Now that shape() is available in all major browsers, let me remind you that you can use my online generator to create any polygon with ... rounded corners!

Adjust the setting, then copy the code.
This was a productive train ride: I finally updated the Lambda Layer powering sidecar-browsershot to Puppeteer v24 and added automation to make maintenance much easier.

sidecar-browsershot was updated as wel.

Switched to Ghossty last December. Love that the config can be added to dotfiles and shared.

I wish you a swift recovery.
You were missed at Laracon. 🧡
We're now only 1 minute late. Fingers crossed they let the ICE into Swiss territory.
If all strings fail, I will happily crash on your couch. ✌️
On the last leg of my journey home from Laracon EU. Swishing with a train through the south German countryside. Sun slowly setting. World of Warcraft's Westfall theme in my ears. Perfection.
It was wild seeing this live on stage.
Merge it.
Taylor demos the full SDLC of 2026: Nightwatch catching an error, AI fixing it and opening a PR, Cloud creating a preview environment, OpenClaw calling to ask if he wants to merge the PR.
No code touched. Fully self-healing app.
Yep. Just in time for @ianlandsman.com’s and @aaronfrancis.com‘s pre party.
See you tomorrow 👋
Our group has been hit by the DeutscheBahn curse: Were stuck at a German operated train station for 2 hours.
Let's see if we arrive in the evening.
Not sure honestly. 😅
I‘m not someone who enjoys running; but my hotel won’t have a gym. Maybe a lite stroll around the block.
All packed and ready for #laraconeu next week.
Tomorrow will be the long train travel day. Fingers crossed I make it through Germany.
@svenluijten.com Just came across your RSS feed again. Love the recent homelab centred posts.
Built a little app this afternoon - add the Laracon EU schedule to your calendar. 📅
Handy whether you're there in-person or watching online.

(Laravel world men: appreciate you helping raise awareness and sharing this 😊)
🚀 We just released laravel-og-image, a package that generates Open Graph images right inside your Laravel app.
Define your OG image as a Blade component, and the package screenshots it and serves it to crawlers. No external API, everything runs on your server.
Subscribing to @freek.bsky.social's newsletter and the @laravelnews.com newsletter covers the important bits for me.
The community is now also very wide. There's lot of JS tooling made by @joe.codes and team, lots of AI stuff as well.
