🎯 Each Symfony project often starts with the same hassle: config, boilerplate, waste of time…

Automated Code/Vulnerability Testing Platforms

I'm looking for an automated code/vulnerability scanning tool (whether that's Laravel-specific (preferred) or a more general platform). Any recommendations?

I started and built a SaaS application a couple years ago. It's grown faster than I anticipated. We house a good amount of sensitive information, so I want to make sure I'm plugging any obvious holes/vulnerabilities that we may be missing from user/development error.

I've done a basic Google search, but I'm not finding anything that seems to be Laravel-specific.

Fully functional shadcn application starter for Laravel 12

Hey guys,

Because of r/Laravel's karma requirement, i could not post, so i hope its okay i post it here.
I spent the last days making an complete starter template for Laravel using shadcn and Inertia.js. The other starters i found that use shadcn are either outdated or dont cover the whole authentication flow.

Anyways, i hope you enjoy my small template, and feel free to contribute!

Just Realized Coolify (That Awesome Self-Hosted Deployment Tool) Is Built on Laravel

i've been messing around with coolify for a bit now on some of my deployments – it's this open-source heroku/netlify alternative that's super handy for self-hosting apps, dbs, and all that without the cloud lock-in. been loving how easy it makes things, but till date i straight up didn't realize it was built with php and esp laravel under the hood. like, how did i miss that?

anyway, wanted to share this lil discovery here cuz i figure some of you might wanna check it out or have thoughts on it. now that i know, i'm planning to dive deeper into their codebase – see how they handled stuff like the ui, api layers, or whatever deployment magic they're pulling off. hoping to pick up a thing or two on laravel best practices, scaling decisions, or just solid php patterns they might be following.

what do you all think? anyone else using coolify in prod? any red flags or cool hacks you've spotted if you've peeked at the source? would love to hear your takes while i geek out on this.

check it out here:

How often do you jump to another tool (IDE, CI, repo) just to fix one bug?

I was tracking my workflow the other day and realized a single bug fix can involve jumping between four or five different tools: the browser, my IDE, the terminal, GitHub, and sometimes Jira. The context switching is a real focus killer.

We've been trying to solve a piece of this by linking runtime errors from the browser directly to a fix in the IDE but we're looking for ideas on how to make this more helpful by understanding the developer mindset a little better.

How many different applications do you typically have to open to resolve one bug?

Is everyone happy with the new Forge UI ?

The new Forge UI looks clean but everything has become extra clicks. They completely rearranged things which now requires multiple clicks. I really wish the PMs at least get some feedback from actual customers before building a new cool shiny UI.

Some examples of UX becoming much worse:

\- Oh you were able to click on a site URL before ? Now you have this weird "Visit Site" button all the way to the right of the screen

\- No more toggle for "Horizon". Instead you have to enter a deamon manually for "php artisan horizon" and ensure that you set the right forge directory manually.

\- The default server dashboard doesnt do anythying. The previous UI would actually let me get to do things immediately.

\- Want to add an SSL certificate ? Now you have to do it on an annoying popup where you have to first select the cert source and THEN it takes you to another page to enter the certifcate. Before it was all on one page. Now it takes more clicks.

\- When you do a new SSL certificate, the menu doesnt show "Activate" option right away. I think it may be an inertiaJS bug and I have to refresh the page to even see that menu option.

Am I the only one or are there others who feel the same ?
