A package to add comments to your Laravel app
I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new premium package called Laravel Comments. Using this package, you can set up a comments section in your Laravel app in no time.
We've made a nice, errr I mean epic launch movie to get you in the right mood.
Laravel Comments includes a Livewire component to render comments. Here's what it looks like:
Of course, we wrote extensive documentation, covering every aspect of Laravel Comments.
It comes with batteries included:

You can easily control which step is displayed, access state of other steps, and build any navigation you desire.
I'd like to introduce the package to you in this blog post.

How to add a spotlight-like search field to your Laravel app
As developers, we tend to like shortcuts to speed up our workflow. One of the tools I'm using to speed up doing stuff on my Mac is Raycast. It offers a lovely command palette that allows opening apps and URLs, working with clipboard history, and much more.
Wouldn't it be nice to also add such a command palette to a Laravel app? This way, power users of your app can get around quickly and perform small tasks without having to click around.
The good news is that there's already a package to add such a thing: Spotlight by Philo Hermans. In this blog post, I'd like to show how we use this fantastic package at Oh Dear.

Of all of the design patterns you could use in your code, the adapter pattern is one of my all time favourites. It allows you to abstract the implementation to an adapter that implements an interface. so you can switch implementation simply by switching the adapter.

Consume less, create more

All of these activities involve letting external thoughts temporarily replace your own. Today’s smartphones differ from medieval books only in degree—all media is created to be consumed. I had to start creating."
