Introducing PHP Operators

Today, we're launching a little web page on php-operators.com.

What do you do when you see PHP code with an exotic operator like ** you don't come across every day? Ask AI of course! Yeah, we're late to the party. We started this project around 2020. The content was pretty much done, but we wanted to build a cool interface for it. Sometimes side projects spend a long time on the back burner, but we finally got to it. You can browse, search, filter, or jump to a random operator. Give it a read, you might learn something new!

This web app is built with Laravel, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS. Content is stored in Markdown files and loaded with our sheets package.

Found a typo? Does an example need clarification? Want to do some maintenance? Check out the GitHub repository, we love pull requests!

Livewire and Inertia: how we love and use both

We've been building Laravel applications with Livewire and Inertia for over 5 years. If you held an individual Spatie employee at gunpoint (please don't) and forced them to pick a favorite, you'll get a 50/50 split. It's like choosing between chocolate or vanilla ice cream: there's no objective winner (except vanilla). But when we look at the choice at hand as a team, it becomes easier to determine the right fit.
