Shipping NativeWatch later this week 📡
Error tracking built for @NativePHP apps, desktop and mobile:
→ one composer install
→ PHP exceptions and native iOS/Android crashes in one place
→ grouped into issues, with breadcrumbs and affected users
→ ask it why an error happened
Waitlist: native.watch
While in San Francisco for Resend Forward, I also went to Alcatraz. The gardens there were beautiful, and I had a lot of fun taking photos with my iPhone 17 Pro. I asked Claude to help me edit this one. Which do y’all like better?

I had a fantastic time at today's Laravel Worldwide Meetup 🙌
If you didn't catch my talk live, check out the VOD! Thank you for having me @LaravelWwMeetup

Today, I’ve been making my @sunnyhomeapp mobile app more “dad” friendly. What makes complete sense to me is utter nonsense to him 😅

Somebody should say a few words.
This profession has been lamenting in fragments for two years with a headstone that turns out to have the wrong name on it.
@davekiss delivered a masterclass at Resend Forward. Listen, grieve, and leave renewed with hope.
Before today, the only tech conference I’d been to was Laracon US. @resend Forward has been amazing so far, especially with the high (IMO) percentage of women and AFAB people!
“Software is having its IKEA moment.”
As always, @aarondfrancis speaks the truth. We can mass produce software, but the care and the craft still remains.
I’m really tempted to build a Trello for podcasts, and ship it before I get back from San Francisco… I think I’d call it “not-outro” or “intro”
🤣
After asking my dad to play with my Sunny Home mobile app, he instantly wanted me to build new museum software for the museums he volunteers at… so I guess I’ve got yet another project to work on!
There’s nothing like free office furniture to start off a Tuesday morning! I’ve already put it in sunnyhome.app, and the bottom drawer of one has already been designated the “Nap Drawer,” complete with a @TightenCo blanket, sleeping pad, and pillow.
ALT Two light wood, two drawer filing cabinets with black drawer pulls and black fabric cushioned tops.

Static site deployments on Laravel Cloud are served from the edge network cache for incredibly fast response times around the world.
Future deployments refresh the content. 🌍
Prepping for @resend Forward, I asked @raycast AI to talk to sunnyhome.app’s MCP, check the weather, scan my closet, and build my trip packing list. I love this app so much (though I am biased since I built it)!
Yesterday I built my first @nativephp app via Bifrost. It took me 6 tries to actually get a successful build, but the Bifrost UI + Claude helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. Now waiting for them to approve the build so I can send it to friends for testing.
Anyone in the southwest suburbs of Chicago want to buy a house? My parents and I put so much time and effort into getting this ready over the past couple of weeks. I’m so glad it’s finally on the market!
