This dog is a god tier bed rotter.

Do not defame my boo like this.

Upgraded my dog to 5G so he can stream faster 🤌

I’m not either but I can fake it with Tailwind components 👀

The Laravel community loves UX and design more than most framework or PHP communities in my experience. You’ll find that a ton of people do this themselves using Tailwind/Inertia/Livewire/Vue and that a lot of these tools have countless sample projects with good docs.

My discover feed is depressing. Send me photos of button quail, PHP stuff, AI stuff, productivity tools, and books I should read so that I can be released from this prison of a feed 🙏
