Laravel NestedSet: Query tree structures efficiently

Hi r/php

We are proud to announce the availability of the aimeos/laravel-nestedset package, an improved version of the most popular Laravel/PHP package ([kalnoy/](https://packagist.org/packages/kalnoy/)nestedset) using nested sets for managing trees which, unfortunately, have been virtually abandoned by its owner.

Repo: [https://github.com/aimeos/laravel-nestedset](https://github.com/aimeos/laravel-nestedset)

The 1.0 release contains:

* Bugfix PRs from the original repo
* Support for UUID and custom ID types
* Full support for SQL Server
* PHPUnit 11/12 support
* Improved documentation

There's now a web site available for the documentation too:

[https://laravel-nestedset.org](https://laravel-nestedset.org)

We will continue supporting the package and if you like it, leave a star :-)

Is Openswoole in maintenance mode and it's better to use regular Swoole?

As far as I can tell, openswoole's last commit to github was just adding php 8.4 support last year. Meanwhile swoole/swoole-src seems very actively developed. Which is strange considering in this sub I've always found people saying openswoole is more actively developed and it's future seems brighter than regular swoole.

In 2026, what's the best way to handle building assets for deployment?

For the longest time I always ran npm ci && npm run build as part of the deployment noscript (via Forge, Ploi etc) but I would end up with deployments taking anywhere from 35-50 seconds, most of it being due to the asset building and I got really tired of it.

Earlier today I took out public/build from the .gitignore, committed the public/buildassets and setup a GitHub actions workflow that would build the assets for me. I'm indecisive if I like the idea of committing "dynamic" files to a repository. Addititionally I'm concerned about forgetting about asset compilation, building them locally and running into weird git merge conflicts. (although I'm not sure if this is a legitimate issue, and merge conflicts terrifiy me most of the time anyway)

I tend to make lots of mini deployments so taking the app down for 30-45 seconds multiple times a day feels really bad.

For those in similar shoes, what do you typically do?

Remote Laravel dev from anywhere: Mac Studio + Tailscale + Herd + Zed (HTTPS .test + terminal)

I got tired of the “travel ritual” before fixing a tiny bug: dump DB, push half-finished branches, clone repos, re update .env, then spend an hour setting everything up.

So, if you keep a more powerful Mac at home (Studio or mini) and travel with a MacBook, this setup has been great for remote development without exposing anything to the public internet.



**Setup**

* **Tailscale** between Mac Studio (server) and MacBook Air (client)
* **Laravel Herd** serving my local `.test` sites
* **Zed** remote editing over SSH
* Full terminal access on the Mac Studio



**What works**

* Browse my projects via [`https://project.test`](https://project.test) remotely (not just SSH tunnels)
* SSH editing in Zed + terminal sessions
* No port forwarding, nothing exposed publicly



**Gotchas I hit**

* Tailscale Serve was silently taking over port 443, so Herd’s Nginx never saw HTTPS (It was OpenClaw 😅)
* Herd CA cert needed to be trusted on the client (System keychain) for clean HTTPS


I wrote up the full step-by-step (including the 443 debugging) here, this is my post:
[https://swapnil.dev/remote-laravel-development-with-tailscale-herd-and-mac-studio-the-complete-guide](https://swapnil.dev/remote-laravel-development-with-tailscale-herd-and-mac-studio-the-complete-guide)


**Question:** For folks doing remote Herd or Valet setups, any cleaner approach for cert trust across multiple Macs?

Escalated - Support desk system for Laravel (Powered by Inertia)

Hey folks,

I’ve been working on an open-source project called **Escalated** and wanted to share it here to get some early feedback.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of running a separate support desk app with its own auth, database, and pricing model, Escalated lives *inside* your application. It uses your existing users, your database, and your deployment setup.

Wherever Inertia works, Escalated follows (Laravel, Django, Rails) - although Laravel is the focus right now.

* tickets and threaded conversations
* Internal notes, statuses, priorities, tagging
* Assignment, ownership, SLAs, and escalation rules
* Notifications via your framework’s native systems
* All data stays in *your* database

MIT licensed

This is still very much **WIP**, but actively developed.
The core architecture and adapters are in place, and the website is done (feedback on the design would be great).

Design of the admin panel is still in the works. The client panel supports Inertia/Vue layouts so it can entirely match your site design:

[https://i.imgur.com/t4MRxl7.png](https://i.imgur.com/t4MRxl7.png)

I'm focusing **most on** Laravel with features for Rails/Django being migrated.

Happy to get opinions/feedback.

What is your go to 'left over AI tokens' to use up prompt, for general maintenance, tidy-ups or nice to haves for Laravel projects?

It gets to the time of the week where you have a bunch of usage left of Claude.

Usually I ask it very generic or ill considered maintenance prompts:

\- check for missing test coverage

\- what are risks in the code base

\- what isn't following best practice

Then I have to manually create PRs for each for the sub branches it creates.

How do you guys approach this - I'm sure there is a much better, structured approach that I can use, that's quick and simple for Laravel projects. Thanks!

Laravel package to pause/resume queue batches

Hey everyone 👋

I built a small Laravel package that lets you pause and resume job batches when using Redis queues. It adds a pausable-redis driver and has a very simple API:

$batch->pause();
    
$batch->paused();  

$batch->resume();

Repo: https://github.com/digiloopinc/laravel-pausable-batch

It’s pretty lightweight and still early, so I’d really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or improvements. Thanks!
