<Form :form /> ✨ That's it. Backend-populated, or composed in the frontend. CSS-variable theming. Cohesively tuned components. Presenters split from composables/hooks. Override or extend. Integrates with Laravel validation, Precognition, uploads/storage, and model binding.

Spent last evening working on the landing page, trying to showcase all the features, which are a lot! 😅 The plan is to release this next Tuesday, July 21!

Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
This was planned as a separate package, but it's now folded into and integrated with the Form Builder and Components 📁 Temporary uploads, pause/resume/retry, direct-to-S3 + multipart support, drag-and-drop, image previews, reordering, and Spatie Media Library integration 💅

Thought I'd never finish this package. At one point I was convinced AI would make it irrelevant before I shipped it. Turns out AI loves this package. Pair it with an agent and you build crazy fast 💨

For months I've been using Claude Code as my primary tool, with Codex as secondary. Last week I switched the two around on personal projects, and I'm not disappointed. Codex is definitely a better orchestrator, and while I still love CC, Codex seems to bother me less.

Been a bit quiet on here lately. I was on holiday with my family, got back last week, and this week it's back to shipping and working on something cool for Laracon US! 🔥 If you're still on Inertia 2, I'm curious: what's holding you back from upgrading to Inertia 3?
030
Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 14/06/2026
Just tagged Inertia Table v4.1. If you're using Inertia 3, it now uses Inertia's internal HTTP client. So any additional config you have there will be applied to the Table requests as well ✨

By delaying Siri AI in the EU, Apple is trying to turn European users against the DMA. Blaming regulation is easy. Maybe it is a negotiation tactic or rollout tactic to buy more time. They are so late to the AI party that I doubt they'll actually risk losing EU users over this.

I've been working on a new Inertia feature that could be useful for almost every Inertia app. It's not fully there yet, but I can't wait to show it 👀

Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 20/05/2026
Today we're shipping new polling features to Inertia.js! ⏱️ usePoll() now accepts a mode option to control the behavior between requests.

Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 06/05/2026
Inertia 3.1 is out, and it brings rescued deferred props! 🪄 Your deferred prop might call a flaky third-party API or throw an exception. With the new rescue option, the exception is still reported, but your users won't see an error response.

A trick I learned with music production: If you're checking the end result, consume it in a different context. Use your website on another device with another browser, read your docs in a viewer other than your editor, bounce your song and listen to it outside of your DAW, etc.

Yeah, I'm on the Max plan now, and in return, I've got one beautiful music player. My library is stored on a NAS, and the search is super fast and actually works compared to the built-in macOS Music app. Claude is now tweaking the animations. This thing must be beautiful.

Inertia Table 4 on its way: Inertia 3 support, plus Headless UI and Axios ripped out entirely. Replaced with the Vanilla package, the same primitives that power Inertia Modal. If you're using both packages, your bundle just got significantly lighter.

Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 31/03/2026
The MCP integration in Solo alone is worth it. It's super useful for multi-process projects. The Modal and Table packages run Vite for React and Vue builds, plus Vite + 'artisan serve' for the demo app. The agent now manages all of that without ps/grep/pkill/lsof gymnastics. soloterm.com

My Modal package will soon receive support for Inertia 3. The PR is ready! I just need to verify it works with the new Inertia Vite plugin. It'll be a major new version, so we can move away from Axios as well. I'll maintain two major versions in active development for a while.

Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 25/03/2026
Today we're releasing Inertia 3! 🚀 It's packed with new features, a better developer experience, and fewer dependencies. Here's what's new 🧵

Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 24/03/2026
One more Inertia 3 beta! We've added Blade components to the Laravel adapter. You can now use <x-inertia::app /> and <x-inertia::head> instead of the inertia/inertiaHead directives. The directives still work, so no breaking changes! 🎯
2102
Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 20/03/2026
We have a new Inertia 3 beta for you! It adds support for Vite 8 and simplifies the Layout Props feature. The ‘useLayoutProps’ hook has been removed, and layout props are now passed to the layout component as regular props 👌 Please upgrade and share your feedback with us! 🙏
140
Pascal Baljet @pascalbaljet.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
We're seeing incredible speed improvements after upgrading to Vite 8. Large apps build 4-5x faster! 💨 One thing to notice: if you're using `import.meta.glob` for static assets, we now have a new `assets` option with Vite 8 and Laravel Vite Plugin 3.0. laravel.com/docs/13.x/vi...

My Table package uses Dusk for E2E tests (moving to Pest soon). Yesterday CI suddenly became very slow on my Mac Mini M1 self-hosted runner. Turned out Chrome 145 was the culprit. Downgrading to Chrome 138 fixed it. If Dusk is slow in CI, try that! 🐌
