New Livewire docs site 💅 + The pitch for choosing Livewire

Image
Hey Livewire lads and lasses, We just dropped a brand spankin' new website! Enjoy the new pixels here: https://livewire.laravel.com/ ​ After Martin Rariga handed us the new design (thanks Martin 😘), I felt like we needed something more than just pretty pixels. Something with voice. You might say we needed some WORDS. Words, man. They're so easy to type, yet so incredibly hard to write. BUT I got through it and wrote a "pitch" for choosing Livewire. It's my teeny tiny version of something like The Rails Doctrine . If you get a minute, read through it and see if it stirs something in you. See if anything resonates: https://livewire.laravel.com/pitch ​ Shout out to Filip for all his hard work on this site ❤️ -Caleb ​ Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 600 1st Ave, Ste 330 PMB 92768, Seattle, WA 98104-2246

It is the same app on the same architecture as the macOS app and starting now, you'll be able to enjoy all the things that we initially built for Mac on the operating system of your choice. Before you ask: Polyscope for Linux is coming next! Download Polyscope "But I already have Claude in my terminal" Fair. So here's what you actually get with Polyscope that a raw claude doesn't provide: Laravel + Herd, working together. Polyscope detects Herd and wires its commands into your workspace. The real magic isn't "parallel agents" – it's parallel branches . You're deep into a big feature, then a teammate drops a PR to review, or you hit a wall and want to pick up something smaller. Open a second workspace, get a fresh .test domain alongside the one you were running, and keep both alive. feature-billing.test and r...
