We've seen an increase in spam bots working their way around regular honeypot form protections lately, mostly sending random gibberish (what's the point?).

What do you use for effective antispam protection on #laravel forms?

Turning spreadsheets into something people actually want to explore? Say less, we got you covered.

With citytransit.uitp.org we found ways to make global public transport data fun to discover.

Data made visual, design made useful.

Nouveaux tarifs @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social, une vaste blague.

Il y a urgence Γ©cologique et au lieu de pousser les usagers occasionnels Γ  passer plus facilement aux transports en commun, on fait l'exact inverse.

Laravel 12.x pro tip.

Instead of registering all routes in the same file, you can just pass an array of web-related routes to application's "withRouting" bootstrapping method.

Also works for API routes πŸ˜€

Last week, Julien showed you the challenges behind infosante.be.
This week, we’re going behind the scenes:
from the main page design,
to body part searches,
to the system logos that make it all work.

They say the more the merrier, so Toon’s got two new associates;

Julien, Operations Director.
He does backflips so that projects run smoothly and on time.

Adrien, Technical Director.
He whacks his hands on the keyboard until everything works.

Can't go wrong with these three πŸ₯Ή

The belgian railway @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social probably offers the worst possible online user experience I have ever encountered on a Business Portal. It must be hard to fail that much, I'm under the impression it's on purpose.

One thing I don't get about the mandatory switch to PEPPOL: there's no free basic access. I’m fine with paying for added value (easy setup, etc.), but if it's required by law, there should be a zero-cost path. I should be able to run my own access point with just time and effort.

Had a blast at @phpxbru.com yesterday with the team, glad to see so many aspiring developers join us!

I've even won this glorious mug I'll be very proud to showcase to my mom. 🀯

Is there an easy way to store blade components in a modular directory structure?

For instance, for a monolith with a website and an app, I'd like to store components under "website/components" instead of "components/website". This does not seem to be possible out of the box?

It's that time of the year again, days before a new Laravel release, and you're wondering "should I wait a bit before I start hacking on that new side-project"?

Well, since Laravel 12 is supposed to be the simplest upgrade ever, I guess we'll just go ahead... and ship? 😁

Glad to see some repositories emerging, inspired by @hiker.dev πŸ™‚

πŸ’‘ Remember, there are 2 distinctive parts to Hiker: the flows pattern (as a standalone package called "Trail") and a modern UI automatically reacting in real time to these flows.

Keen to check it out? Request an access token! πŸ™

It's been amazing to see people's reactions to @hiker.dev so far, and we've barely scratched the surface. There's a lot more to it than the simple demo app we've shared.

If you'd like your own early-access holographic license, get in touch! We'd love to hear your feedback.
