We've seen an increase in spam bots working their way around regular honeypot form protections lately, mostly sending random gibberish (what's the point?). What do you use for effective antispam protection on #laravel forms?

Turning spreadsheets into something people actually want to explore? Say less, we got you covered. With citytransit.uitp.org we found ways to make global public transport data fun to discover. Data made visual, design made useful. #DataViz #Mobility #WebDesign #Whitecube #UITP

Nouveaux tarifs @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social, une vaste blague. Il y a urgence écologique et au lieu de pousser les usagers occasionnels à passer plus facilement aux transports en commun, on fait l'exact inverse.

Laravel 12.x pro tip. Instead of registering all routes in the same file, you can just pass an array of web-related routes to application's "withRouting" bootstrapping method. Also works for API routes 😀

They say the more the merrier, so Toon’s got two new associates; Julien, Operations Director. He does backflips so that projects run smoothly and on time. Adrien, Technical Director. He whacks his hands on the keyboard until everything works. Can't go wrong with these three 🥹

The belgian railway @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social probably offers the worst possible online user experience I have ever encountered on a Business Portal. It must be hard to fail that much, I'm under the impression it's on purpose.

One thing I don't get about the mandatory switch to PEPPOL: there's no free basic access. I’m fine with paying for added value (easy setup, etc.), but if it's required by law, there should be a zero-cost path. I should be able to run my own access point with just time and effort.

Is there an easy way to store blade components in a modular directory structure? For instance, for a monolith with a website and an app, I'd like to store components under "website/components" instead of "components/website". This does not seem to be possible out of the box? #laravel

It's that time of the year again, days before a new Laravel release, and you're wondering "should I wait a bit before I start hacking on that new side-project"? Well, since Laravel 12 is supposed to be the simplest upgrade ever, I guess we'll just go ahead... and ship? 😁

Glad to see some repositories emerging, inspired by @hiker.dev 🙂 💡 Remember, there are 2 distinctive parts to Hiker: the flows pattern (as a standalone package called "Trail") and a modern UI automatically reacting in real time to these flows. Keen to check it out? Request an access token! 🙏

It's been amazing to see people's reactions to @hiker.dev so far, and we've barely scratched the surface. There's a lot more to it than the simple demo app we've shared. If you'd like your own early-access holographic license, get in touch! We'd love to hear your feedback.

Like @bobbybouwmann.bsky.social's presentation on pipelines? @leloup.dev and myself have been working hard for the past years making the pipeline pattern even better! Take a look at @hiker.dev, we'd love your feedback 😊 If you're at #laraconEU, we can hand you an early-access token 🚀

Probably the hardest thing in the whole @hiker.dev process: talking to a camera. Thanks @aaronfrancis.com for screencasting.com, we still have lots to improve but your course made us take the leap!

A route is a single endpoint, or URL if you prefer, which you can GET data from or POST data to. Each route should be defined once. Why would you define the same route multiple times? Each functionality can have multiple routes, depending on what you're building of course.

Sure! There's also a list of Laravel devs you could follow on this app: blueskystarterpack.com/starter-pack... For beginners I'd also recommend taking a look at laraveldaily.com by Povilas Korop. Laravel has a very strong and helpful community, so don't hesitate to follow 🙂
