Needed a simple lightbox plugin for Alpine.js so I threw this together over the weekend. Just add x-zoomable to your img tag. Available on npm or via cdn: github.com/benbjurstrom...

My ideal Laravel login page looks something like this. Really don't like being responsible for user's passwords.

Short on time so I’m spatchcocking this turkey on the grill. Should be done in an hour and a half.

The “Show less like this” button really cleaned my feed. When I signed up it was all anime and digital art by default and I don’t see any of that anymore.

Setup Starlink for my parents. Not bad at all. Now to mount it on the roof.

Pretty happy with the API I settled on for [pgvector-scout](github.com/benbjurstrom...). Can set the index at the model level which then corresponds to a config value.

Added search to my Laravel markdown blogging engine. It's backed by an sqlite index so it should be somewhat performant. See it in action on the docs site at prezet.com Also thanks to @pixelcave-john.bsky.social for the pinemix.com command palette component.

Also put together an example Laravel app using the Amazon reviews dataset. The app lets you sort reviews by concepts and shows related reviews. github.com/benbjurstrom...

Excellent talk by @mandymichael.bsky.social on optimizing your HTML. I’ve used many of the HTML features mentioned, but never really understood how they work.

Since we're talking about kitchen items, I'm a big fan of this Chinese vegetable cleaver. The extra surface area helped me dial in a proper claw technique.

Tip: It's easy to setup a custom folder and controller if you have markdown files that you want to render with Prezet that shouldn't appear in your blog index. Handy for things like privacy policies and terms of service agreements.

Added some Flux components to a custom @filamentphp page. Was really easy to add the styles and scripts using the available blade stacks

Spent about an hour porting the latest @tailwindcss template to a Laravel app running Prezet.

Finally cracked 100 stars on GitHub ⭐️. Looking forward to getting more feedback from users.

Finally got my markdown blog package to @phpstan level 9. prezet.\com

Added GA4 to a site using @cloudflare Zaraz. Still seeing PageSpeed performance scores of 97+. How am I just finding out about this?

Ben Bjurstrom @benbjurstrom.com · 29/08/2024

Updated prezet.com to use its own Tailwind config & CSS files by default. No more style conflicts with your existing Laravel app.

Ben Bjurstrom @benbjurstrom.com · 18/08/2024

Added a new blade component to Prezet. Now you can add alert style callouts to your markdown.

Wrote some documentation on deploying Laravel powered content sites to AWS Lambda using @brefphp.

Ben Bjurstrom @benbjurstrom.com · 12/08/2024

Finally moved my personal site away from NextJS. It's now a @laravelphp app deployed to AWS Lambda via @brefphp. Should be essentially free to host and it's fast.

Pretty good for a docs site running on Laravel

The mobile friendly modal @calebporzio built for the Livewire Modals screencast is so incredibly good.

Ben Bjurstrom @benbjurstrom.com · 27/12/2023

The code is pure tailwind/html/blade, but was curious if there's any @LaravelLivewire or @Alpine_JS magic that would simplify things.

Ben Bjurstrom @benbjurstrom.com · 27/12/2023

Setup a @laravel blade component to display a blurred placeholder until an image is fully loaded (code in next tweet).

FrankenPHP comes with Mercure, a modern alternative to WebSockets. I integrated it with Laravel Livewire in the demo below. The integration is pretty straightforward. If there’s interest I’ll open a pull request.

With UUIDs as primary keys you'll catch dumb mistakes like this a lot sooner.

Working with markdown frontmatter using @contentlayerdev is such a breath of fresh air. Can tell at a glance what’s missing or if there are any extra properties not defined in your schema.

Installed new thumb sticks on a pair of five year old joycons. No more stick drift!

Wanted to see how many people were using a certain feature. So I fed the machine a schema dump from a single pivot table then just asked in english. Sure I could have written that query myself, but this was so much faster.

Just noticed a remove unused services feature was merged into to the aws-sdk-php package: github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php/pull/2456 Shaved ~30MB off my deployment bundle. @taylorotwell could be useful to get around the Lambda 50MB limit when using Laravel Vapor.

Been using Saloon by @carre_sam on a couple API clients and the fixture recording stuff is a game changer. Instantly creating reusable fixtures with real data makes it so much easier to setup proper response handling. Check out this example from the docs...

Quick Laravel Nova tip. You can return a custom url from the Image field's preview and thumbnail methods to view images hosted externally.
