Working on a new Statamic site this afternoon. Been in a bit of a funk for a while, but feels good to be back and having fun working on things again ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Working through cleaning up some things for the first v1 release of Torchlight Engine. Some things coming in this release:

* Upgraded to Phiki 2
* New annotations ๐Ÿ‘€
* Improvements to the annotation parser

Any features you'd like to see as part of this release?

The one nice thing about starting the same project over for the 11th time is that the abstractions are starting to feel really good.

Will probably take some downtime for a few days, but next up is focusing on Temper, and then the formatter. ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ

* Over 60+ built-in rules, covering HTML, Blade, Alpine and Livewire
* Auto-fixes (you can also specify which rules should never be auto-fixed)
* Parallel processing/linting
* Super configurable
* Configurable reporting
* Supports baselines (w/ change tolerances)

Thanks to a blizzard, I've spent a lot of time today working on Sheath! The core package is now complete and stable

Made a lot of progress on the Forte docs today, Sheath (the Blade linter), Temper (Laravel Blade/View reflection library)

Going to go swap string gauges and enjoy the process of setting up a Floyd Rose

Forte rewrite is complete, and a new alpha just dropped. It was a grind, I am tired, but now I can work on the docs and all the other supporting packages and tools ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ

This last 10% push on the core Forte library has been stressing me out a bit - but I can see the finish line! ๐Ÿ’…

Going to be looking into improving this aspect - if you have any ideas or wishlist items on this, just let me know!

The Forte Enclaves feature is now running on the new tokenizer, parser and transformation engine ๐Ÿฅณ

Much, much faster!

I just love it when a complex implementation upfront pays off in a big way at the end.

Parsing HTML is a special kind of fun.
Formatting it is a whole other level of fun
