Two weeks ago, I launched events for Laramap. Some people liked it, which made me happy, but usage is low. I spent two days building it between client projects, so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed. Did it not spread, or do people just not care?

Laramap Events is live. Claim the events you're going to or have been to, see who else is there and share your photos. The map draws a line from everyone's home to the venue, which looks better than I expected. What's the furthest you've travelled for a Laravel event? laramap.dev/events/larav...

It's fascinating how a single message can spark motivation. Laramaps events have sat idle for months now. I worked on it the whole morning after receiving a nice email from Simon, who just came back from Laravel Live Denmark. Hope to ship this soon.

When Laramap took off, I realised there was no way to share your profile, because users had no direct links. I quickly shipped direct links using the users UUID. That was a practical solution, but UUIDs don't look cool, so I added support for user handles. Check the account tab and claim yours.

In my free time, I'm working on Filament Studio again. Currently, I'm focused on improving usability by introducing a client dashboard that will allow you to save, load, and preview your themes. Stay tuned for updates.

I am satisfied with the desktop version of the list view for Laramap. Clicking a profile will zoom in on the map. Once you close it using the button, the Escape key, or by clicking the map, it will return you to the previous map bounds unless you interact with the map. Next up: mobile interaction.
