From the recent Jetbrains survey: "The survey’s gender distribution shows a striking lack of diversity, with the overwhelming majority of respondents identifying as male." If you have the means to support Larabelles, I strongly urge you to do so: larabelles.com/support-us

V1 will be released on the 24th February! That date has been pushed back to give me time to finish the documentation, as I've been out of commission, unable to use my arms for a few days. #laravel #multitenancy github.com/sprout-larav...

Come on over and let's set up a Linux tiling window manager together on stream! twitch.tv/alexandersix_

@chris-sev.bsky.social 👋

Due to some shifting schedules, I'm going to stream tomorrow (Tuesday) night instead of my usual Wednesday! Come hang out as we do part 2 of setting up a Linux install–this time, we're digging into tiling window managers! Follow at twitch.tv/alexandersix_ for go-live notifications!

Coding on Linux just feels so good. It feels like coming home whenever I do it!

We're rewriting www.openbrewerydb.org into #Laravel. Plan is for v1 API parity and then start on v2 🍻

Hey. When people say things like "I just deleted my twitter account" the correct response isn't "you aren't welcome here because it took you too long to do that." When people do the thing you want people to do, it's a pretty good time to not be a jerk.

💫 New CSS Loaders! The "bouncing" collection: css-loaders.com/bouncing/ 12 single-element #CSS loaders added to the biggest collection of loading animations 🥳 Pick your favorite one 👇

this haptic display absolutely rocks. basketball is for everyone.

Been waiting for this one for a while! Glad we’re going all-in on @tiptap.dev!

This is such an exciting development for Filament! We're so excited to have you on board, @archilex.bsky.social! Pumped to see what the future holds 🎉

Come hang out and set up a fresh Linux install for web development with me! twitch.tv/alexandersix_

It's been a week of surprises for me (and yes, it's only Tuesday), so let's go off the rails a bit on stream tomorrow! Let's set up a Linux computer from scratch for Laravel development! Linux rocks, by the way, and you all should try it at least once! Wednesday, 7:30pm EST.

Another nice post from @joshwcomeau.com shares his most useful patterns for #CSS container queries. 🎉 Love them myself! You can do some clever things and it helps make me feel good about CSS and #frontend right now. www.joshwcomeau.com/css/containe...

I'm compiling a list of companies that are interested in sponsoring phpx.world meetups. If your company wants to get added, please get in touch! (Also, if your company has offices that could host events, please reach out as well!)

Nothing makes me feel dumber than trying to turn on a table lamp in a hotel.

Tailwind 4 upgrade was pretty smooth! 5% of my time I spent actually upgrading Tailwind, 95% of my time I spent working on a PHP script to convert RGB colors into OKLCH for Filament backwards compatibility 😭

I love seeing apps that update on `focus`. It's a great way to make your site feel real-time, even if you're just polling an API. You can see an example of this below—when I click on the other window notifications and comments update immediately.

The new Tailwind homepage is a real stunner my goodness tailwindcss.com

Anytime I am helping someone with CSS and they seem to have the wrong mindset in how they approach writing it, I tell them to watch this video by @miriam.codes As far as I'm concerned it should be required viewing for anyone who is learning CSS. youtu.be/aHUtMbJw8iA?...

6pm tonight! phpxmsp.com/meetups/2506...

Come on over and let's talk Laravel and Filament while we work on a NextJS project! If that's not excellent multi-tasking, I don't know what is. twitch.tv/alexandersix_

One of our values is transparency, and that's why we always share everything with our community So, what’s Penpot working on and what’s coming next? community.penpot.app/t/not-a-road... #roadmap #community #opensource

Going to be streaming again tonight at 7:30pm EST! Come work on a Next.js upgrade and chat about all things Laravel & @filamentphp.com! Follow on Twitch for go-live notifications: twitch.tv/alexandersix_
