The news officially out!
I'm going all-in this year to speak at Laravel events, including now THE MAIN STAGE in US!
In Boston, I'll happily carry the message of @filamentphp which I've been using for years now.
I'll do my best to impress you with the demo(s).
Laracon US@LaraconUS
@PovilasKorop is next to take the Laracon stage. Founder and educator at Laravel Daily, Povilas is talking about all things Filament. Join us July 28–29 in Boston. laracon.us

Realized something yesterday so had Claude replace postcss-custom-properties with a custom parser and now almost everything from Tailwind 4 works in Maizzle 6 🤯
space-y-*, divide-y-*, shadows, rings, you name it - it's all resolved and lowered with Lightning CSS for better email client compatibility.
And of course it also works with screen or dark mode modifiers 👍️
English
@PovilasKorop You deserve it! Your content is one of the best in the industry, and as someone who runs a newsletter, I know how hard it can be to maintain consistency.
English
@vivgui Wow! Thanks for the motivation to continue :)

After 3 months of AI newsletter, I launched a PAID tier on Substack.
For $8/mo ($80/yr), members will get EXTRA content.
First perk: new AI coding series with videos EARLIER than YouTube + repo GitHub link.

@PovilasKorop Bought the yearly, excited to see what you do next 😁
English
@vivgui Oh yes planning to do exactly that, more perks coming, not only content!
More in January.
Thanks for the support!
English
@vivgui Still TBD and very open to feedback! Would love for you to try it!
English
Okay, so I'm pretty sure I've found the best way in the world to create dynamic Open Graph images! And I've turned it into a little product that I'd love to show you 🤩
Check out this quick video tour of Ogkit to see how it works 👇 (I promise it's pretty cool!)
TL;DR: Drop any HTML into a tag and Ogkit turns it into a dynamically generated Open Graph image for that page. Works with literally any stack. The only dependency is a tiny JS script.
Got any questions about Ogkit? Would love to answer them!
English
@shrutibalasa @tailwindcss Of course! I hope you find a great company to work with and I'm excited to see what you do next 😄
English
@vivgui @tailwindcss Super sweet of you Vivian! Thank you for those lovely words ☺️
English
I can vouch for @shrutibalasa! Her educational contributions to the @tailwindcss community have been invaluable, and her books are a joy to read.
Definitely one of the best educators in the dev community 🙌🏻

@PovilasKorop You're right to be! Your work has been a blessing to me these past few months. I've learned more advanced Laravel concepts than ever before.
English
I feel proud of my productive summer.
The result is this TRILOGY of courses on AI editors/agents:
laraveldaily.com/courses
I will probably need to re-shoot these every few months.
And a side-result is a new YouTube channel "AI Coding Daily": @AICodingDaily" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@AICodingDaily

@EzekielMX @UltraLinx Same, I bought it 2 weeks ago and I'm kicking myself about not doing it sooner.
English
@PovilasKorop I feel CC biggest advantage is its tight integration with Anthropic's models.
I think they're like Apple: just 1 CLI, 2 models, that's it. All optimized to get the best possible output.
And Cursor is trying to be an "everything" tool, but it's not nailing any single thing.
English
So, Cursor goes after Claude Code into their territory.
But... why?
As many people said in tweet replies, Claude Code is successful not because of Terminal but *despite* Terminal.
It's about quality + pricing model.
Do you imagine using Cursor terminal in VSCode or PhpStorm?
Cursor@cursor_ai
Cursor is now in your terminal! It’s an early beta. Access all models. Move easily between your CLI and editor.

@JackEllis I have a service just for that 😄

Who is the go to Tailwind developer who does Figma to Tailwind now that Laravel have stolen Jason Beggs from the freelancing game 🤣
English
@christophrumpel Agreed. After 10+ years of coding, I don't need a lesson on what state is. Just give me the core concepts so I can understand the mental model of this new thing.
English
2015: Devs want packed 10+ hours video courses with lots of price options and add-ons
2025: Devs want max 2h video courses with 5min videos, everything else feels too overwhelming…
Same with you?
English
@adamwathan I don't think you can use your Max plan as an API key, they're separate services. The API key is always paid and doesn't belong to a plan.
English
Help me out here, are Claude and Anthropic accounts completely separate? I was hoping to use my Max plan to get an API key to try in Zed, is that not possible?
English
@arvidkahl Say whatever you want about the crypto space but the documentaries about it in 10 years will be wild
English
The real question here: is $1.1 Billion enough to retire?
Beanie@beaniemaxi
Imagine the balls it takes to not only hodl what is now $1.1 Billion worth of Bitcoin for 14 years from a $7800 cost basis, but to just send it all out with a single click and no test transaction.
English
@arvidkahl Congrats! I write a weekly newsletter so I understand how hard maintaining consistency really is! ❤️
English
Tomorrow morning, The Bootstrapped Founder podcast will have its 400th episode 🤯
Just scheduled it.
Wild.
English
Should I add a directory of Claude rules and Claude Code slash commands to playbooks?
English
@DaniellHemmati @statamic @octobercms Statamic ALL THE WAY! It has so many features and so much out of the box that it's a JOY to use and its my first choice for most of my content-based projects.
English
Between @statamic and @octobercms, which one have you used, and why do you prefer it over the other?
I'm planning to use one of them for my next project and would love to hear your thoughts on which one is better and why.
English
Going to keep pushing this a bit more and really refine the rules, then will probably throw them into Tailwind Plus for anyone who wants to try them 👍🏻
English
Alright, really cooking now…
✅ Pixel-perfect compared to Figma design
✅ Supports light and dark mode
✅ Includes responsive design
✅ Didn't write a single character of code by hand
✅ Was definitely faster than doing it myself
Figma MCP server + rules file biggest unlocks.
