Laravel NestedSet: Query tree structures efficiently

Hi r/laravel

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 7.0 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 :-)

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:

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!

Sugar (PHP templating engine) — thoughts?

Hey everyone

I’m working on a new PHP templating engine called Sugar, and I’d love honest feedback from the community.

It’s something I’ve wanted to try for a long time, and with today’s AI tooling this kind of project feels way more accessible for me to actually build and iterate on.

Docs: https://josbeir.github.io/sugar/
GitHub: https://github.com/josbeir/sugar
Feature comparison: https://josbeir.github.io/sugar/guide/introduction/what-is-sugar.html#feature-comparison (could be incorrect, please correct me if you notice this)

Focus

Directive-based templating (`s:if`, `s:foreach`, `s:forelse`, etc.)
Context-aware auto-escaping
Components + slots
Template inheritance/includes
PHP 8.5 pipe syntax support (even with the minimum PHP 8.2 requirement)

Feedback I’m looking for

Does the syntax feel intuitive?
Anything that feels over-engineered or unnecessary?
Missing features you’d expect before real-world use?
Docs clarity — what was confusing?
Performance or architecture concerns you notice?

I’m especially interested in critical feedback — but “looks good” is appreciated too 🙏

Thanks for taking a look!
