@theecgaming1 @ItXBosS @taylorotwell Laravel Pail needs the PCNTL extension to PHP and that doesn't work on Windows.

@joshcirre There's some crossover in culture there somehow that I can't put my finger on

[Ed Johnson-Williams @_edjw]

@joshcirre Svelte and Laravel feel so similar to me in their ethos, the way they communicate (both from the maintainers and among the community), and how they try to include good first-party support for things you need (eg styling, state management in Svelte)

@northumbriana Bedale in North Yorkshire has a good one of these but a Doctor of Divinity back in 1621!

@ryangjchandler Would you mind saying a bit about the sort of situations where this test might fail?

[Ed Johnson-Williams @_edjw]

Gist to the code

#Laravel tip I've found useful…

"Vite manifest not found" error? You forgot to start Vite.

VSCode can automatically start Vite for you

If you're on a Mac, I've just put out a TestFlight. Have a try!

New design tool for #Tailwind, Apple #HIG and more…

You've got a colour from a design and you need to code it up. Instead of eyeballing it to find the best colour from your palette, use Nearest Color and be sure you're getting the right colour.

Not keen on this UI (why does Apple have SO MANY palettes‽)

Finished! 4,518 candidates have been nominated to stand in the 2024 UK general election. This is the most candidates ever, beating the previous record of 4,150, in 2010.

@joshcirre That makes sense and I imagine it's a fast workflow for trying things out.

$0 to $39 a month plus AWS fees feels a very big change for hobby sites where you don't want to manage a server. Netlify/Vercel do the VC-funded thing to make it $0 obviously.

[Ed Johnson-Williams @_edjw]

How do #Laravel developers deploy little hobby sites? Do you all have Forge or Ploi for this?

[Ed Johnson-Williams @_edjw]

@joshcirre Oh nice :-) I've watched a lot of your stuff but missed this one.

Is Fly still your go-to for hobby sites? It does seem to have far fewer gotchas than the Vercel approach I blogged above

[Ed Johnson-Williams @_edjw]

Like I've blogged how to deploy Laravel 11 on Vercel but this is a lot!

@joshcirre I was interested in your take as the JS>>Laravel guy on quick and cheap Laravel deployments.

That Netlify and Vercel etc quickly deploy a JS framework site for free really lowers the barrier to entry to JS-land imo
