Livewire Starter Kit

I know this sounds petty but it’s kinda sucks that if you want the rest of the UI elements, you need to pay for it. I know folks worked hard on it but at this point, I thought Laravel would bring out their own at least.

Anyone sign up for Flux UI? I think I might bite the bullet.

I am a PHP developer, not a Vue Developer

Sick of seeing jobs for “PHP Laravel Developer” then in the requirements they also want Vue and Inertia experience.

I purposely don’t do frontend, I work really hard and keep up to the date with the latest in the PHP world.

Some jobs even want Kubernetes / Terraform in top of PHP and Vue. So you want me to manage the servers and infrastructure, write the code, maintain the database and also build the frontend?

From experience people who try to do everything in a role aren’t the best developers.

I made my developers choose between frontend and backend and sent them on their way to be the best they could in that area. It made a huge different to quality and output.

In my opinion trying to build teams with full stacks in every area of the codebase is a recipe for disaster.

Monitor Slow Queries using Laravel Build in Features

Did you know that you can monitor slow queries without using any packages or tools?

//AppServiceProvider

public function boot(): void
{
$maxTimeLimit = 500;
// in milliseconds


if (!$this->app->isProduction()) {
DB::
listen
(static function (QueryExecuted $event) use ($maxTimeLimit): void {
if ($event->time > $maxTimeLimit) {
throw new QueryException(
$event->connectionName,
$event->sql,
$event->bindings,
new Exception(message: "Individual database query exceeded {$maxTimeLimit}ms.")
);
}
});
}
}

With this method, you don’t need to look away. An exception is thrown every time a request exceeds the threshold. You can make it to log queries instead of throwing an exception which is useful in production.

public function boot(): void
{
$maxTimeLimit = 500;
// in milliseconds


if ($this->app->isProduction()) {
DB::
listen
(static function (QueryExecuted $event) use ($maxTimeLimit): void {
if ($event->time > $maxTimeLimit) {
Log::warning(
'Query exceeded time limit',

'sql' => $event->sql,
'bindings' => $event->bindings,
'time' => $event->time,
'connection' => $event->connectionName,

);
}
});
}
}

Show & Tell Relaticle - An Open Source Laravel-based CRM I've Been Building (+ Questions About Plugin Licensing)

# Hey r/laravel!

I've been working on Relaticle, an open-source CRM built entirely with Laravel 12 and Filament 3. After months of development, I'm excited to share it with the community that has taught me so much over the years.

# What is Relaticle?

Relaticle is a comprehensive CRM platform focusing on simplicity and customization. Built for teams managing client relationships, sales pipelines, and collaboration workflows, it includes:

People/company management with custom fields
Kanban-style sales pipeline for opportunities
Task management with assignments and due dates
Team workspace organization

# Technical Stack

Laravel 12
PHP 8.3 (with strict typing throughout)
Filament 3 for the admin panel and UI components
Livewire 3 for reactivity
Alpine.js for frontend interactions
PostgreSQL (though configurable)
Comprehensive test suite with Pest
Architecture that enforces single responsibility, readonly classes, and clear abstractions

I've focused heavily on developer experience, with comprehensive documentation, thorough type hints, and consistent patterns.

# The Custom Fields Challenge

Here's where I'd love the community's input. The core of Relaticle's flexibility comes from a Custom Fields package I developed. It's robust enough to be used independently, allowing any model to have completely customizable fields and sections (similar to how Notion allows custom properties).

Initially, I planned to sell this package separately (it's listed in composer.json as a premium component from a private Composer repository). However, I'm questioning this approach since:

1. It feels against the spirit of open source to have a core functionality behind a paywall
2. Yet it represents hundreds of hours of development and testing

My question: What do you think is the right approach here? Some options I'm considering:

Open source it entirely
Dual license (OSS for Relaticle, commercial license for standalone use)
Keep it as a premium component with a free tier
Provide it fully free but offer paid support/implementation

# Why I Built This

I was dissatisfied with existing CRMs - either too complex, too expensive, or not customizable enough. Laravel and Filament make it possible to build something that's both powerful and elegant.

The repo is available at https://github.com/Relaticle/relaticle . I'd love your thoughts on the approach, code quality, and especially the Custom Fields licensing question.

Thanks for being such a supportive community!

Why is latestOfMany() orders of magnitude slower than using a manual subquery?

For context, a hasOne(ModelName::class)->latestOfMany() relationship creates a complex aggregate WHERE EXISTS() subquery with another nested (grouped) subquery, and in some cases it can be extremely slow, even if you've added every conceivable index to the table.

In some cases it performs a full table scan (millions of rows) even though the "outer/parent" query is constrained to only a few rows.

With this manual "hack", calling count() on this relationship went from 10 seconds to 7 milliseconds

return $this->hasOne(ModelName::class)->where('id', function ($query) {
$query->selectRaw('MAX(sub.id)')
->from('tablename AS sub')
->whereColumn('sub.leadid', 'tablename.leadid');
});

Which is nice I guess, but it annoys me that I don't understand why. Can any of you explain it?

Struggling to hire a Senior PHP Developer in the UK

Where is the best place to find (and hire) Senior PHP developer in the UK?

Could anyone please advise where you would look for such a job outside of LinkedIn?

We've used Dev specific recruiters but they're clearly not vetting their applicant and when we do post on LinkedIn we get mainly people from mainland Europe applying.

Any help would be appreciate. Thanks

Edit.
I will try come back to people individually but just to clarify. I’m not complaining, just looking for advice. I can’t post a job app on here as it’s against the rules however if anyone wants to ask for the spec, I’m more than happy to DM them a link if that’s acceptable?

How do I level up my game ?

I’ve been working as a PHP full-stack developer (CodeIgniter & Laravel) at a small organization for three months now, building and shipping new features on the company’s two websites. Every time I get a task, I lean on AI to scaffold the solution—but I never just copy-paste. I break down every line to make sure I actually understand it.

So far, zero complaints about my code and my PRs always get merged. I might take a little extra time, but I’ve never backed down from a challenge.

Here’s the kicker: I feel seriously underpaid—my salary isn’t even $100 per month. In an ideal world, I’d be earning around $3,500–$4,000 USD per year, but that’s not happening at my current gig.

I’m based in India, where PHP devs often get paid peanuts—and I’m not ready to ditch PHP just for a fatter paycheck.

I’m planning to move on and find a place that actually values my skills. Before I start applying, I need to upskill… but with so many options out there, I’m not sure where to focus.

Any advice on what I should learn next to level up my PHP game ? What is the demanding tech stack (PHP included) ?

Laravel Package

Hey devs 👋

After years of repeating the same Artisan commands, I finally got tired of the boilerplate and decided to build something that would actually speed things up.

So I just released a package called RapidsModels (or just rapids) – it’s designed to generate your models + migrations + seeders + factories + relationships in one single command:

php artisan rapids:model Product

It’s interactive (asks you for fields, types, relations, etc.), and it supports:

One-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many relationships (with pivot model/migration)
Smart detection of existing models
Clean output that respects naming conventions
Seeders + factories out-of-the-box

🎯 Goal: Cut dev time and standardize model generation across projects.

🧪 It's still early-stage, but it's stable and I use it daily in my own Laravel projects.
📦 GitHub: https://github.com/Tresor-Kasenda/rapids
💬 I'd love feedback, ideas, feature requests, PRs, or bug reports!

Thanks for reading, and I hope it helps someone out there 😄

What’s your go-to workflow when building a new web app from scratch?

There are so many ways to build apps these days — no-code, low-code, AI copilots, boilerplates, full custom builds. I'm curious: what’s your current process when starting a new web app?

Do you go straight into writing code? Use templates or starter kits? Lean on AI tools (in your IDE or browser)? Or do you start with a low/no-code tool to validate first?

Also curious how much you mix things up—like prototyping fast with no-code, then switching to a custom stack later.

What makes you feel the most productive right now?

Would love to hear how others are doing it in 2025.

Learning PHP the right way?

Hello there I hope you're doing fine, so when I started to learn PHP I started watching Gio Channel in YouTube and I stopped when he started explaining classes.

From then I jumped into learning laravel I didn't took any courses something I just like followed a refollowed and refollowed the documentation , I look up whatever I need to look up not that proficient in laravel as well I mean I'm okay I'm good I can do what I think but not in a proficient level but more like on a amateur level.

Find out I want to master the craft of software development I see myself more dependent on llms rather than actually learning and I feel that it starts to slip, the coding skills starts to sleep again and I want to do it right this time I know a little bit of JavaScript and PHP I'm familiar mostly with frontend frameworks like vue, solid I'm starting to learn svelte as well.

I wanna learn PHP the right way like the concepts of the programming languages+ the concepts of backend development stuff.
