I only recently found out that Altitude Angel went into administration, leaving the drone community without accessible mission planning. This weeks question: Can the Laravel Framework with Cloud (and maybe Forge), fill that gap? Stay tuned to find out. 👀

@tryclawhost Maybe if you can get that pricing down just a little 👀 - Forge + LaravelVPS + OpenClaw for the same spec has you beat right now! Thanks for the recommendation though!

@PeteBishop OpenClaw buddies really get you, no doubt. If you want your own dedicated server with full OpenClaw access and easy one click deploy, ClawHost is where to run it from anywhere. Keep that connection going strong.

I love my openclaw buddy. He gets me. 🤣🫶🏻

@tessak22 Happy birthday! 🥳 and with @marcosgrimm , that makes a birthday Trio! 🎉 (Happy birthday, @marcosgrimm !)

@PeteBishop It’s my birthday too! Happy birthday to us! 🎉🥳🎂

It's my birthdayyyy! petebishop.dev

Welcome to Artisan Weekly Edition 75, and what a fantastic Friday it is! This week has been absolutely brilliant for the Laravel community - from the incredible third Laravel London event to exciting new tools and insights that are pushing our craft forward. In 🥇 place this week, we're diving behind the scenes with @ericlbarnes and his fascinating look at "Laracon EU 2026: The Laravel News Experience". Fresh back from what was truly an outstanding LaraconEU, Eric takes us on a journey through how Laravel News covered the event, sharing all those brilliant behind-the-scenes moments and conversations with attendees, speakers, and sponsors that made the event so special. t.ly/b857u In 🥈 place this week, @RmeetsH brings us "GPX Runner's data decoded with PHP" - a perfect blend of our love for data manipulation and staying active! Roberto brilliantly walks us through parsing GPX files from sports watches and turning that running data into something we can actually play with as developers. If you've ever wondered what you could do with all that fitness data you're collecting, this is exactly the kind of creative exploration that makes our community so vibrant. t.ly/UvVGw In 🥉 place this week, James Seconde introduces us to the future of PHP extension management with "Managing PHP Extensions Is As Easy As PIE". This deep dive into PIE (PHP Installer for Extensions) shows us how this modern tool, funded by the Sovereign Tech Agency, is revolutionizing how we handle PHP extensions - making it as simple as using Composer. James expertly guides us through this game-changing replacement for PECL and even shows us how to create a native DD helper along the way. t.ly/HIxPx 🥇 @ericlbarnes - Laracon EU 2026: The Laravel News Experience - t.ly/b857u 🥈 @RmeetsH - GPX Runner's data decoded with PHP - t.ly/UvVGw 🥉 James Seconde - Managing PHP Extensions Is As Easy As PIE - t.ly/HIxPx 4️⃣ @pascalbaljet - Inertia.js v3 Is Now in Beta - t.ly/wD2Bi 5️⃣ @mattrothenberg - OG Image Generation on the Edge - t.ly/-bf00 6️⃣ @valorin - Security Tip: Validate Config at Boot - t.ly/ZNlfZ 7️⃣ @JustSteveKing - Building production ready APIs with kit - t.ly/APBqL 8️⃣ @PeteBishop - I Went To Laracon EU On A Whim, I Came Home A Different Person - t.ly/vVXG_ 9️⃣ @joshcirre - Automate Your Preview Environments with Laravel Cloud - t.ly/NPzbW 🔟 @valorin - Security Tip: Your JWT Might Be a Forever Key! - t.ly/Q6ztn That's it for this week, if you've enjoyed any of the posts this week don't forget to let the authors know, and If you've missed any of my previous Artisan Weekly posts then you can catch up on the previous 74 over at artisanweekly.com.
