Introducing html-to-markdown PHP bindings
Hi Peeps,
I am the author of html-to-markdown - a Rust library for parsing HTML 5 into CommonMark compliant markdown (GitHub flavor syntax also supported).
The Rust library has a CLI, and its offered in the following languages - with fully typed safe bindings:
1. Python
2. TypeScript (both native and WASM)
3. Ruby
4. PHP (new!)
The readme for the PHP package includes installation and usage guidelines.
I'd be happy for any feedback!

Thoughts on MCP with Laravel?
Hello all,
Recently I have been experimenting with building MCP Servers in Laravel and I am curious about the community's perspective on this integration.
My experience so far:
I built a simple MCP email sender, that lets Claude create and read emails through Laravel's mail system.
Question for the community:
What use cases have you seen using Laravel with MCP?

Some new updates to Flare: performance monitoring, better Livewire support, MCP server
Flare, the original error tracker built for Laravel, was launched on stage at Laracon EU 2019.
Since then, our team at Spatie has steadily improved it by adding integrations, better PHP / JavaScript support and lots of smaller quality-of-life updates.
I’m happy to share that our big new feature, Performance Monitoring, is now available for everyone to try! After quite the journey (read our ‘Lessons from the deep end’ below) and a lengthy beta, I can now truly say that Flare is the application monitoring tool for Laravel I've always wanted. We've kept the price the same, so you're basically getting two products for the price of one.
Some other recent updates to Flare: better Livewire support and an MCP server, so your AI agents can pull errors straight from Flare and fix them right inside your code editor.
* Blog post: [https://flareapp.io/blog/introducing-flares-next-big-feature-performance-monitoring](https://flareapp.io/blog/introducing-flares-next-big-feature-performance-monitoring)
* Lessons from the deep end: [https://flareapp.io/blog/lessons-from-the-deep-end](https://flareapp.io/blog/lessons-from-the-deep-end)
* MCP server: [https://flareapp.io/docs/flare/general/our-mcp-server](https://flareapp.io/docs/flare/general/our-mcp-server)
We’ve got a bunch more improvements in the works over the next few months. If you’ve used Flare before, I’d love to hear what you think so far, what could make it better? And if you haven’t tried it yet… which error tracker are you using now and why?
If you have any technical questions about how Flare works under the hood, I'm happy to answer those as well!
