Frontend
Inertia
Get the feeling of an SPA without having to fetch your data from a remote API and having to deal with routing in the frontend.
TypeScript
We use TypeScript in every project, even when writing a small Node.js app. It gives us a huge feeling of safety when writing code, even during a big refactor.
Tailwind CSS
A highly customisable CSS framework which can be used directly in your HTML. No more heavy CSS!
Vite.js
Lightning fast frontend build tool! ⚡
AlpineJS
Alpine is our tool of choice for progressive enhancement.
React
Our frontend framework of choice when we need to do heavy lifting.
Yarn
Like npm, but faster, prettier, and actually deterministic.
Jest
Testing is important in the frontend too!
Prettier
When working in the same files with a lot of people, Prettier makes sure it feels like coming home every time.
Backend
Laravel
Do we really have to explain this?
Statamic
A great Laravel based flat file CMS. Statamic’s content editing experience is consistent and easy to understand.
We heavily rely on static analysis tools. Both PHPStan and Psalm are used, but we recently decided to go for Larastan.
Livewire
Building simple and dynamic interfaces, without leaving the comfort of Laravel.
Services
Debugging becomes a breeze with Ray! It helps us to debug faster by beautifully displaying our debug information. It works in any PHP, Laravel or Wordpress project!

Flare is a Laravel error tracker that integrates perfectly with Ignition (your local error page) in production. We use Flare to track all our PHP and JavaScript errors in one place.
Oh Dear!

DigitalOcean
All our projects are hosted on DigitalOcean droplets. It’s the best scalable hosting platform for us.

Float
We use Float to get a quick overview of our high level schedule. It’s a great tool to quickly see our team’s capacity, whether it’s for a big project or just for a small task.
Slack
We use Slack to communicate with our team members. We mostly discuss our projects, but also host afterwork drinks, coffee breaks and even board game nights during the pandemic.

The time tracking of our projects is managed within Harvest. It is one of the most accessible tools to quickly gain insight into your team's time commitment.

Sequel Pro's grown up brother. Also works with Redis and other obscure database protocols.

Sometimes you're in a rush and you just don't have the time to enjoy some nice content. Luckily there's Pocket, so you can save articles, blogposts, video's to enjoy them later on.
