Come hang out over on Twitch -- we're setting up a Laravel 13 project using the Svelte starter kit, hacking on some git worktrees support, and continuing work on our graph DB setup in Laravel! Lots to do, so come on over and let's get to work! Twitch link in the replies

Back to streaming tonight! Going to move the app we were working on over to Laravel 13 and keep working on our graph relationship work! May also set up some git worktrees while we're digging in 🙌 Come hang on tonight at around 7pm EDT (ish) Link in replies

Reminder - we're starting a nerdy new Laravel project on stream tonight, so come hang out and be a part of it! Any ideas what we're working on? I _will_ tell you–we're going to be using @laravel.com's new Svelte starter kit (and I am SO excited)

Back to streaming tomorrow evening! We're starting work on a new side project of mine, so come hang out if you want to be a part of the fun! Stream starts at ~7pm EST on Wednesday! Follow for go-live notifications -> twitch.tv/alexandersix_

In all the excitement about the @filamentphp.com launches today, I forgot to mention, I'm streaming tonight! Come hang out at 7pm EST on Twitch! We'll talk through my latest updates to our Linux config and explore a new (to me) way of building local development environments!

Today's the day! We're so excited to finally reveal the things we've been working on behind the scenes for the better part of a year 🙌

And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: two new releases for Filament’s fifth birthday! We excited to introduce both the new Filament rebrand & mascots AND a new premium plugin: Filament Custom Dashboards

If there's one thing I'm passionate about in Linux, it's tag-based tiling window managers. Nothing has come close to the productivity boost I've felt because of them. Don't know what those are? Well, lucky for you, I have a new post out on my site about just that! Link below!

Sadly, no stream tomorrow because of some prior commitments, and no stream on Thursday because I'll be having fun at UpstatePHP! Don't worry, though--I have some fun theme switching and workflow updates to show off! I think the install is really starting to come together! 🔥

Still searching for a great name for this custom Linux configuration! SixOS feels a bit...full of it, if you ask me. Suggestions always welcome!

Keep up with our progress on Github - github.com/alexandersix... It's technically a fully working Linux environment, but I haven't checked the setup script lately, so your mileage may vary with those, but you can see all the necessary packages if you're persistent!

Dental work isn't keeping me down! Back to streaming again tonight at 7pm EST! We're going to be working more on our Linux install, specifically surrounding theming! I have something fun to show you, so come hang out! All Linux skill levels are welcome–let's lear together!

Streaming again tonight to add some more polish to our dev-focused Linux install! I've made some progress off-camera that I'm excited to share, too! Come hang out at 7pm EST - all skill levels are welcome! Link below

So, new year new me and all—should I finally try setting up multistreaming? I’m only on Twitch right now, but…would people watch on YT? I’m a little apprehensive about splitting my chat streams since it’s so hard to interact with chatters on the other platform.

Just a reminder that tonight at ~ 7pm EST, we're going to be adding some of the last few technical updates to our custom Linux install, and then moving on to theming! Come hang out–all are welcome, whether you love Linux or have never touched it! Follow twitch.tv/alexandersix_ for notifications!

I'll be back to streaming again tomorrow (2/28) @ 7:00pm (ish) EST! Come hang out as we knock some more items off the custom Linux install list! We have a few small items to tackle first, and then we'll get into theming! Follow for go-live notifications -> twitch.tv/alexandersix_

Any Laravel devs I know using the Mago toolchain? It looks awesome and I'm considering diving deeper into it, but I feel like I haven't heard much about it yet?

Assuming this crazy winter storm doesn't take me out in the meantime, come hang out on stream tonight at 7pm (ish) ET and let's build more of our custom Linux configuration in the new office! All skill levels welcome! Follow at twitch.tv/alexandersix_ for go-live notifications!

Back to streaming again tomorrow night! The new office isn't _completely_ set up, but it's close enough for Twitch 😂 Come hang out tomorrow at 7pm and we'll keep pushing on our Linux to-do list! Follow at twitch.tv/alexandersix_ for go-live notifications!

It's not much yet (I have 0 decorations and only an hour or so on lighting), but I'm liking this so far! If anyone has advice on what to add/change, let me know! I'm open to any and all feedback at this point, including what to have in the background 😅

Also, I realize that wearing a shirt that is the same color as my walls is not making my life any easier trying to get things set up, but, live and learn 😂

It’s release day! 💡 Filament v5 - includes Livewire 4 support (just one simple upgrade script run away in most cases!) 🤖 Filament Blueprint - better AI context and plan generation for your Filament projects with Laravel Boost to get the work done with fewer costly iterations!

Filament@filamentphp.com

We’ve launched Filament v5 and Filament Blueprint today! 🤖 Filament v5 adds support for the newly-released Livewire v4! Blueprint is a premium Laravel Boost extension that gives AI agents deep, structured knowledge of Filament, so they can write detailed implementation plans.
