Laravel is so far ahead of everything else **for actually building real world products**. Hard to say what’s in second place but it’s way way behind.

The first rule of Livewire is never ever do something in Javascript that could be done in PHP. Javascript must always be the last resort. I just switched a simple folder open/closed toggle thing that needed storage from a buggy localstorage/cascading CSS construct to a server…

I'm honestly having way too much fun with this Laravel Breadcrumbs package. Register your breadcrumbs like routes (as well as bind them to named routes automatically). It's great! Finally, a logical way to manage breadcrumbs.
