<Form :form /> ✨ That's it. Backend-populated, or composed in the frontend. CSS-variable theming. Cohesively tuned components. Presenters split from composables/hooks. Override or extend. Integrates with Laravel validation, Precognition, uploads/storage, and model binding.

Thought I'd never finish this package. At one point I was convinced AI would make it irrelevant before I shipped it. Turns out AI loves this package. Pair it with an agent and you build crazy fast 💨

16 July

Spent last evening working on the landing page, trying to showcase all the features, which are a lot! 😅 The plan is to release this next Tuesday, July 21!

This was planned as a separate package, but it's now folded into and integrated with the Form Builder and Components 📁 Temporary uploads, pause/resume/retry, direct-to-S3 + multipart support, drag-and-drop, image previews, reordering, and Spatie Media Library integration 💅

Check out the new polling concurrency modes in Inertia! ⏱️

Christoph Rumpel@christophrumpel.bsky.social

You don't always need WebSockets for real-time in Laravel. Polling with Inertia has become really powerful: live updates in one line, partial reloads, and new concurrency modes. 🔥 youtu.be/oFv0vR2Nus8

For months I've been using Claude Code as my primary tool, with Codex as secondary. Last week I switched the two around on personal projects, and I'm not disappointed. Codex is definitely a better orchestrator, and while I still love CC, Codex seems to bother me less.

Been a bit quiet on here lately. I was on holiday with my family, got back last week, and this week it's back to shipping and working on something cool for Laracon US! 🔥 If you're still on Inertia 2, I'm curious: what's holding you back from upgrading to Inertia 3?

14 June

Just tagged Inertia Table v4.1. If you're using Inertia 3, it now uses Inertia's internal HTTP client. So any additional config you have there will be applied to the Table requests as well ✨

14 June

Inertia Table 4 has been out for a short while and has some great new features. I haven't had the time to showcase them here like I normally do, but will do that soon! Some highlights include: ✅ Inertia 3 + TS support ✅ Homegrown, way better datepicker ✅ ... ⬇️

14 June

✅ No third-party dependencies, smaller bundle size ✅ Better topbar and confirmation dialog customization ✅ Improved bulk selection, including indeterminate/partial selection ✅ Tooltips for (disabled) actions ✅ Support for custom filter components ✅ Sticky action column

By delaying Siri AI in the EU, Apple is trying to turn European users against the DMA. Blaming regulation is easy. Maybe it is a negotiation tactic or rollout tactic to buy more time. They are so late to the AI party that I doubt they'll actually risk losing EU users over this.

I've been working on a new Inertia feature that could be useful for almost every Inertia app. It's not fully there yet, but I can't wait to show it 👀

Today we're shipping new polling features to Inertia.js! ⏱️ usePoll() now accepts a mode option to control the behavior between requests.

Next up: router.once(). Same as router.on(), but auto-unsubscribes after the first event. Contributed by @sebdd.net 👏

We also shipped some bug fixes, most of them backported to 2.x as well. Under the hood we upgraded to TypeScript 6 and swapped ESLint and Prettier for oxlint and oxfmt. Much faster linting and formatting 💨

Today we're shipping new polling features to Inertia.js! ⏱️ usePoll() now accepts a mode option to control the behavior between requests.

Three modes to pick from: Default is 'overlap' and keeps the current behavior. New is 'cancel', which aborts the in-flight request before the next tick. Third is 'rest', which waits the full interval after each response, so requests never overlap 🎯

We also added dynamic data to usePoll() 🔁 You can now pass a function as the request options and Inertia will re-evaluate it on every tick. No more stale snapshots from props or state captured at mount.

Inertia 3.1 is out, and it brings rescued deferred props! 🪄 Your deferred prop might call a flaky third-party API or throw an exception. With the new rescue option, the exception is still reported, but your users won't see an error response.

There are two places where Inertia injects some minimal styling: the progress bar and the error dialog. When you're using a Content Security Policy, CSP for short, you may now pass a nonce to createInertiaApp() and it'll be applied to those styles 🔒

Lastly, you may now pass a host option to the SSR config to restrict the server to a specific host. It still defaults to 0.0.0.0, but it's there if you need it ✨

Instead, the <Deferred> component renders a new rescue slot, which is great for showing a custom error message and a retry button 🔁

About time! 🥵

A trick I learned with music production: If you're checking the end result, consume it in a different context. Use your website on another device with another browser, read your docs in a viewer other than your editor, bounce your song and listen to it outside of your DAW, etc.

Yeah, I'm on the Max plan now, and in return, I've got one beautiful music player. My library is stored on a NAS, and the search is super fast and actually works compared to the built-in macOS Music app. Claude is now tweaking the animations. This thing must be beautiful.

Pascal Baljet@pascalbaljet.bsky.social

The MCP integration in Solo alone is worth it. It's super useful for multi-process projects. The Modal and Table packages run Vite for React and Vue builds, plus Vite + 'artisan serve' for the demo app. The agent now manages all of that without ps/grep/pkill/lsof gymnastics. soloterm.com

Inertia Table 4 on its way: Inertia 3 support, plus Headless UI and Axios ripped out entirely. Replaced with the Vanilla package, the same primitives that power Inertia Modal. If you're using both packages, your bundle just got significantly lighter.

Pascal Baljet@pascalbaljet.bsky.social

My Modal package will soon receive support for Inertia 3. The PR is ready! I just need to verify it works with the new Inertia Vite plugin. It'll be a major new version, so we can move away from Axios as well. I'll maintain two major versions in active development for a while.

After that, I'll tag a new version of the Table package. I've got a PR ready as well; I just need to tag the Modal package first. 😇

The new @inertiajs/vite plugin handles page resolution, code splitting, and SSR setup automatically. Your entire entry point can now be a single function call. SSR in development no longer requires a separate Node.js server either. Just run `composer dev` ⚡️
