How do I create an emoji font file, specific to a website and app?

I'm a total NOOB when it comes to stuff about emojis, from the system side.

Okay, what I'm about to ask is wild, and I know its a strong chance I won't getting any full on tutorials for this. I just need some leads at least into the right direction.

Long story short, I'm working with a team to build a website/app for various online use for our target audience. The emoji system is painfully limited, and are based on the Microsoft Segoe UI for Windows. Platforms often have their own emoji, Facebook, Discord, Youtube, while like Reddit DO use the Segoe UI it seems. What would I need to do, in order to create emojis for my team's website/app?

ASSUMPTIONS
This is what I assume it would require, and I'd like some insight before I proceed to waste my time with these guesses.

Custom font: the site would need it's own font, that is unique to the site, in order to display emoji.

OTF font type: to house a lot of emoji glyphs, and of course, SVG vectors as emoji.

SVG: all emoji art I'd assume would have to be SVGs, in order to be scalable and work with the font face.

Some kinda "encoding": for lack of better phrasing, once the file is created, you'll need to like... perform some kind of formatting or "encoding" so the font file is properly compatible for web and mobile use.

PHP: I'm learning some bare bones in navigating PHP (this project calls for it), and I believe there's some some sort of .php file and line(s) of code to implement your font, and some more PHP knowhow to implement your emoji.

ANY HELP is majorly appreciated, any leads, just anything.

Resources to learn pure php best practices?

I recently have become involved in maintaining a legacy php application running php 7. Does anyone have any recommendations for learning the fundamentals of php?

I come from a web dev background mostly using rails. The application I'm working with generally makes sense to me, and I am able to get things working. However I'd love to have some idea what I'm doing beyond simply making things work.

We're attempting to build out some new features with moderately complex logics. More intricate DB interactions, users submitting/displaying html, including a few JS libraries, and some other stuff. Im very interested in getting a better understanding of php in order to properly design these features.

What do you like least about Laravel?

Laravel is a great framework, and most of us love working with it. It’s simple, powerful, and gets you pretty far without much sweat.

But what’s the thing you like least about it as a dev?

Could it be simpler? Should it be simpler?

Has convention over configuration gone too far—or not far enough?

Any boilerplate that still bugs you?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been feeling really motivated lately to collaborate on something meaningful or just plain fun. I’m not here to pitch my own idea – I actually want to join someone else’s project and contribute however I can.

Whether you're working on a startup, a coding project, an open-source tool, a game, or even a creative non-tech endeavor – if you’re passionate about it, I’d love to hear about it. I'm eager to jump in and help with development, design, testing, brainstorming, or just being that extra pair of hands to keep things moving.

Let me know if you have something I can help you!

Just hit 300,000 installs on my little PHP package 🎉

It’s one of those moments where you realize—open source is magic.


You put something out there, and it grows beyond you.
It lives because people use it, improve it, and share it.

If you've ever used it, contributed, or even just told someone about it—
thank you. Seriously.

Launching TrueReviewer — A Robust & Complete Review and Rating System for Laravel

After successfully launching Commenter, I began my next big mission — TrueReviewer. I might be biased, but I believe TrueReviewer is one of the most complete and powerful review systems available for Laravel. Whether you're building a SaaS platform, e-commerce site, or any other web app, it’s designed to fit right in.

Unlike Commenter, TrueReviewer is API-agnostic — meaning the front-end (Vue.js) and back-end are completely decoupled. This gives you the freedom to integrate it into any Laravel project, whether it's a traditional server-side rendered app or a fully separated API-driven architecture using Vue as the front end. Since the Vue components are compiled into JavaScript, it works seamlessly across tech stacks.

TrueReviewer focuses on performance, customization, and design. It comes with five beautifully crafted components that are not just visually appealing but also accessible and user-friendly. Each component is built to make an impact without overwhelming the UI, offering a smooth and intuitive experience. Thanks to its modular design, you can use components independently based on your project’s needs.

Going beyond traditional review systems, TrueReviewer includes AI-powered features like sentiment detection and integrity checks, helping ensure the quality and trustworthiness of reviews.

TrueReviewer is currently offered as sponsorware — a paid product. I understand that the Laravel community often prefers open-source tools, and I genuinely planned to release this as open-source. However, given the effort, time, and resources involved, I needed to find a balance between sustainability and community contribution.

I hope you’ll see the value in this package — and if it helps your project, that alone makes it worth it.

Naming pattern for PSR-15 handlers in Dotkernel applications

I just realized backed enum cannot be printed directly

I was using some backed enums and realized that eums cannot be printed directly or passed to functions like fputcsv, even though there is a text rappresentation of them. Also, you cannot implement stringable.

I also found a few rfc talking about this:

[https://wiki.php.net/rfc/enumerations#auto-scalar\_conversion](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/enumerations#auto-scalar_conversion)
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/auto-implement\_stringable\_for\_string\_backed\_enums

In the first RFC, I guess it made sense at that time hold back on this behaviour. Instead, do you know what happend to the second RFC?

Maybe this discussion could be reopened now that enums are more battle tested?

Facebook marketing api

Hello,

I am working in a legacy facebook marketing api. The legacy code does daily +4000 api query per day. To handle this the legacy code use proc_open and sleep for 5 sec for every chunk of apis. The code create some CSV and after finishing all the api calls it merge all CSV to one CSV to import later on db.

This solution works fine sometimes and sometimes freezes without any error. So I thought to refactor with laravel jobs/queues. Any one have been working with facebook apo or laravel queue to handle thousand of api calls?
