I just read this nice blog post that contains a few tips on how to interview a Laravel developer. When hiring someone at Spatie, I usually tend to get a feel if a candidate is passionate about our field of work. I ask questions like: Who are the people you feel you can learn from? What blogs are you…
Today, we released the ohdearapp/ohdear-pulse package, which contains Laravel Pulse cards to show you the status of your scheduled jobs, any broken links you have in your Laravel app, and uptime / HTTP performance stats.
Here’s what the scheduled jobs card looks like.
In this blog post, I'd like to tell you more about these cards.

We’ve released a new package called spatie/laravel-pdf, a batteries-included package to generate PDFs in Laravel apps. Under the hood, it uses Chromium to generate PDFs from Blade views. You can use modern CSS features like grid, flexbox, and even frameworks like Tailwind to create beautiful PDFs.
In this post, I’d like to introduce and demonstrate the package.
We’ve released a new major version of spatie/image, v3. This package makes it very easy to manipulate images using PHP.
At the same time, we’ve also released a new major version of spatie/laravel-medialibrary. This is a powerhouse package that can associate all kinds of files with Eloquent models. The latest version of this package now uses spatie/image v3 under the hood for manipulating images.
In this blog post, I’ll explain why we made new major versions and how they can be used.
Like every year, we have some Black Friday discounts at Spatie. We made fun video about it.

In a perfect world, email clients can render HTML as good as major browsers. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Email clients don't support modern HTML and CSS niceties and have a lot of quirks to be mindful of. Making sure an HTML email looks good in the most used email clients takes a lot of work.
To make crafting HTML emails a lot more enjoyable, the folks at Mailjet created a solution called MJML, which stands for "Mailjet Markup Language." It's an easy-to-use abstraction layer over HTML.
We have created a new package called spatie/mjml-php to easily convert MJML to HTML using PHP. If you're using Sidecar, you'll be happy to know that we've also created a package called spatie/mjml-sidecar, to convert MJML to HTML using Sidecar.
In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.
