Tonight's Laravel Prompts Lab:
Can I create a bar graph.
...that changes values every second.
...that changes colors every second.
...that animates to the new value.
(Yes. A bit blinky, but yes.)

Tonight's Laravel Prompts experiment:
A simple terminal kanban board, inspired by
@charmcli
's tutorial from last year.
Just going to keep trying things out until I notice patterns, then develop a little TUI framework of sorts.

Starting tooling around with Livewire, seeing what it looks like to extend its functionality.
Snooped around for some simple browser APIs and found BroadcastChannel. Broadcast messages within the same browser across multiple tabs/windows.
Whipped it up and here's the result.

Ok, here's my next NativePHP experiment (woefully unstyled, go easy):
An app to write automations for your Mac.
I already use this via the command line for recorded demos but it's so much easier with a little visual builder.
Thoughts? Use cases? Keep building? Toss it?

Whelp. I've gone full Norton Commander. Using the Laravel Prompts renderer.
Today was about diving deeper into alt screens (thanks
@ryangjchandler
!) which makes a huge difference for this experience. Plus, I got mouse scrolling for free! Dope.

Had an idea and 15 minutes to spare so implemented the Vibration API in Livewire and pretty darn happy with the results.
This one only works under pretty specific conditions on a phone, but it could bring a more native feel to your web app when used well.

I am immensely proud of this one. For something seemingly simple, it took a while to get the details just right.
Major shout out to
@jessarchercodes
for being the ultimate PR sherpa, as always.
This week's Laravel releases brings a "textarea" function to Laravel Prompts. 🧙 Absolute magic.

Tonight's Laravel Prompts exploration torched my brain a bit, but I was determined to put a modal on the screen and by golly I did it.
But then... I had to animate the modal. Because why not.
Please note: The background dims a bit when the modal pops up.

No secret sauce. No magic. Just tapping into what Laravel Prompts has to offer.
Let's make a Kanban Board in the terminal:

Ok, I can't do a ton of these right now, but had a little bug in my head and it wouldn't go away until I tried it out.
Uses the SpeechRecognition API built right into the browser (except Firefox) and you can target the results directly to a
@LaravelLivewire
property. Blammo.

🎉 It's launch day, folks!
I am beyond excited to announce the release of Bellows.
If you use
@laravelphp
Forge to launch sites with any regularity, Bellows is your new best friend. Forge already makes launching a site easy, Bellows makes it effortless.

Don't know if people are interested in this sort of thing:
Doing quick little post-mortems on CLI Labs. Talk about what the original objective was and what I learned on the other side.
Basically: Every lab is as a specific challenge that I try to execute while having some fun.

Created a quick
@raycastapp
extension this morning that shows a list of my friends and their current time in their timezone.
Adding a friend is as easy as heading to their Twitter page and hitting "Add Friend" from Raycast.
Just a proof-of-concept, but I find it super useful.

OG Laravel Prompts Lab, one of my first from back in the day.

Tonight's Laravel Prompts Lab:
To re-create this retro iPod UI as closely as possible in the terminal.

One of the reasons I'm exploring Replicache + Laravel is you get instant interactions for the initiator, and free bidirectional syncing for any listening clients.
Feels magical.

Built an SSH app that allows you to play music in your

account via an iPod in the terminal. Dope.
Unfortunately, due to their API integration rules, they don't approve hobby projects.
So I filmed a demo.

I've seen a lot of Saloon love on Twitter lately and I'd love to pile on.
Saloon really shines when you're dealing with a wonky API. Does it always return 200? Sometimes JSON and sometimes a string? Sometimes nothing at all?
Normalize it! Abstract it away! Make it feel better.

Here's a cool undocumented Laravel Prompts feature:
@jessarchercodes
built in the ability to easily add themes to Prompts so you can customize the look and feel.
I whipped up a quick-and-dirty theme to make Prompts look like the (excellent) Clack CLI library.

Some news: Bellows is now open source!
It feels like the right move and was probably the spirit of the project all along.
I still use it all the time, and I'm looking forward to continue to improve it.

Used the new Laravel PDF package from

This is undoubtedly a really hard day for Aaron but a massive opportunity for another company to snag an immense talent, scoop this man up.
I no longer have a job!
I was part of a big layoff at
@PlanetScale
today. I'll miss working there, it was a great experience.
Feeling bummed, kinda embarrassed, but also slightly optimistic?
Trying to figure out what's next. I'd love to hear any ideas ❤️

Fooling around with a little DNS manager CLI app this weekend.
I get my domains from GoDaddy and change the NS to DigitalOcean. It's tedious, so I'm bandaid-ing my own paper cut.
Free and open source, out by next week-ish.
Built with

Started this year with less than 200 followers, now have almost 900. But it's not about the follower count.
I was quietly watching from the sidelines, craving a dev community, not having one in real life. So I started putting myself out there, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

If you told me that goofing around with Prompts in my evenings would reap the sort of (dream) things I'm doing today, I would have been pretty confused.
Yet
@aarondfrancis
called it right at the beginning, and I didn't believe him. Won't catch me making that mistake again.
It's important not to optimise for specific outcomes but for anything GOOD, even if you don't know what that is yet.

I wanted the tables in my terminal to match the styling of
@laravelphp
Prompts as closely as possible, so I hijacked the default "box" styling to fix the alignment with the rest of the prompts output.
Pop it into a console mixin and we're off to the races!

- Better alignment
- Dim time when outside 7am - 9pm to indicate night

Ok, I feel like this
@laravelphp
string helper should exist, but it doesn't? I can't find it if it does.
I have a long string I want to display in the terminal, so I want to chop it up and insert line breaks every X chars.
Str::wrapLong(20)? Terrible name, but that's the gist.

Feeling a shift lately, like I had all of this latent energy and now I'm ready to GO.
I want to build something big and difficult, something bewildering, something that abstracts away a really hard problem and makes jaws drop at the ease.
That's my vibe right now. Leaning in.

Ok, the share thing earlier was basically Alpine.js in its current form.
Sharing *files* though starts to feel a bit more Livewire-y maybe, and I think the possibilities are far more intriguing.
Still using the browser's native Share API, single or multiple files.

Having job searched extensively this past year, I have, unfortunately, found this to be true in my experience.
One of the main reasons I'm learning new languages and expanding my tech horizons.
PHP/Laravel is probably the most enjoyable language/Framework to work with, but it’s also the least paying. Ever since I switched to Go/Node my salary almost doubled.

When I start a side project, I always tackle the core problem first and solve it. No UI, usually via a CLI app.
My fatal flaw is that once that core problem is solved, my interest in making it a full, usable app plummets.
Any strategies around this? To ultimately ship?

1/2 Passkeys are becoming more widely accepted (cc Google's announcement today, upcoming 1Password support, etc).
I'm going to focus on making a PHP package (framework agnostic + one specific to

Any NYC area Laravel/PHP devs want to meet up in the New Year?

Bellows uses the Process facade in

pretty heavily.
9 times out of 10 I want to show the user real-time output of the command that is running.
This is baked into the Process facade, but it's a little verbose for me.

This was, without a doubt, the hardest lab I've done.
Took 3 nights. Almost gave up on it a dozen times. Finally clicked last night.
Very happy with the results.
Will probably never share the code. It's horrible. But I will take the principles learned to the next lab.
Alright, let's have a chat.

I'm working on refining my TUI helper package, Chewie, in preparation for its proper release.

Ironed out the rest of my terminal data table. It's looking sliiiick.
- Resizing now properly truncates the data so it fits
- Visually disable hotkey hints when they aren't available
- Validate page jump before jumping
- "No results" message
Feels more real. Blog post incoming.
