It was such a pleasure to speak at the #eleventy meetup yesterday!

#Laravel and #11ty make for an interesting combination with loads of flexibility and power.

Find out how I put these two together to implement a strategy I'm calling Incremental Content Management:

Incremental Content Management with Laravel and Eleventy

This is a recording of a talk I presented at the 11ty Meetup on February 4th, 2026. I tell the story of how I used Eleventy to quickly add a blog to an existing website and application originally built with Laravel.

I've launched the ArtisanPack UI Media Library as its own open-source package! Initially planned for the CMS Framework, it was clear this media management solution needed to stand alone. It features robust organization (folders, tags, categories) and automatically converts images to modern formats. Check out the post to see how I built it using Claude Code in half the time of my old process.

Taylor Otwell followed and DMed Adonis' creator...

Something happening?

Very curious. Adonis deserves way more visibility. Could be positive.

So I launched one of the companion websites that nicely fits within the network:

You can print them out immediately or share them as PDF's. High quality, no watermarks, no account needed.

I'm planning to add new pages daily.

HI everyone!
I am a Senior Full Stack Developer and DevOps consultant with 8 years of experience and I currently have full time availability from February (next monday) onward.
I help teams design, build, and monitor scalable Laravel and Vue.js applications, from MVPs to long term production systems.

I work hands on with Laravel, Vue.js, FilamentPHP, Traefik, Docker and FrankenPHP, with a strong focus on clean code and observability (New Relic).

Some example projects I have worked on:

Custom platform for an Italian utility company.

Payment request and information portals for Italian municipalities. (pagoPa)

Custom SaaS applications built on Laravel and Vue.js

Monitoring and observability setups for consumer and security companies using New Relic

Monitoring and code quality improvements for a large Italian consulting enterprise

If you are looking for someone who can both ship features and keep your systems observable, secure, and reliable, feel free to reach out and share what you are working on.

"If you could wave a magic wand and improve one thing about the #Laravel ecosystem today, what would it be?"

I asked this to 200 #developer. The recurring theme was a desire for a centralized, standardized way to evaluate packages.

"Standardize package info ..."
"Reduce the number of duplicate packages."

This feedback was the inspiration for https://LaraPlugins.io. We need a directory that focuses on health, not just download counts.
