We just released v7.3.0 of laravel-query-builder, which adds a new way to group multiple filters under a single URL parameter. Before getting into the new feature, let me show you how the basics work, so the new bit makes sense in context.
Seth Godin shares a compact set of pricing truths about value, story, and perception. It is especially good on why the right answer to "that's too expensive" is often a better story, not a lower price.

The spatie/laravel-sluggable package has been around for close to a decade. A slug is the readable part of a URL that identifies a record, like announcing-laravel-sluggable-v4-with-self-healing-urls in this post's URL. The package generates one for any Eloquent model when you save it, derived from a title or another text field, and most of the time you don't have to think about it.
We just released v4, which adds a few things worth talking about. Let me walk you through them.
This practical guide shows how to use spatie/laravel-health together with Oh Dear to detect vulnerable Composer dependencies in production and get alerted quickly. It also shows how adding composer audit in CI gives you an extra early warning layer.

AI coding agents love to run tests in parallel processes.
That's great until multiple processes try to use the same local test database at once. A small file lock can serialize access and stop those runs from stepping on each other.

A mobile pass is that thing in your iPhone's Wallet app. A boarding pass, a concert ticket, a coffee loyalty card, a gym membership. Apple calls them passes. Google calls them objects. Both Wallet apps let you generate them, hand them out, and push live updates to the copy that's already on someone's device.
We just released Laravel Mobile Pass, a package that lets you generate those Apple and Google passes from a Laravel app and send updates to already issues passes.
Together with the package, we also published a demo site where you can create Apple Wallet passes and push an update so you can see it all working on your own iOS device.
Dan Johnson and I have been working on it for a while. Let me walk you through what it can do.
Henrik Warne makes a good case for adding a --dry-run mode to commands that change state. It gives you a fast, safe way to verify configuration, inspect behavior, and test workflows without side effects.
