★ A package to add comments to your Laravel app

[AdSense-A]

I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new premium package called Laravel Comments. Using this package, you can set up a comments section in your Laravel app in no time.

We've made a nice, errr I mean epic launch movie to get you in the right mood.

Laravel Comments includes a Livewire component to render comments. Here's what it looks like:

Of course, we wrote extensive documentation, covering every aspect of Laravel Comments.

It comes with batteries included:

comments can be nested
emoji reactions
notifications to all participants when a new comment is posted
an inline approval flow for new comments
markdown editing and code highlighting
endlessly customisable

In this blog post, I'd like to introduce the package to you.

★ A package to create Livewire powered wizards in no time

[AdSense-A]

I'm proud to announce that our team has released a new package called laravel-livewire-wizard. Using this package, you can set up multi-step wizards quickly using Livewire.

The package is headless, which means that it provides no UI itself, but it makes it easy to build any UI you desire.

You can easily control which step is displayed, access state of other steps, and build any navigation you desire.

I'd like to introduce the package to you in this blog post.

★ How to add a spotlight-like search field to your Laravel app

As developers, we tend to like shortcuts to speed up our workflow. One of the tools I'm using to speed up doing stuff on my Mac is Raycast. It offers a lovely command palette that allows opening apps and URLs, working with clipboard history, and much more.

Wouldn't it be nice to also add such a command palette to a Laravel app? This way, power users of your app can get around quickly and perform small tasks without having to click around.

The good news is that there's already a package to add such a thing: Spotlight by Philo Hermans. In this blog post, I'd like to show how we use this fantastic package at Oh Dear.
