Weekly Journal

Last week I had some fast-follow updates to release.new. Mostly based on user feedback after launch. So thanks everyone for that.

Over the weekend I merged a large PR into laravelshift.com based on some work by Mary Perry. She has been helping me over the last few months with some internal tasks. Especially as I've focused on these side-projects.

Since I didn't get a chance to livestream last week I decided to do multiple livestreams this week. The theme is giving Thanks to Laravel. Each stream I've been working on a little PR or feature gap. Two of which were merged in today's release. I'll finish these streams out tomorrow to PR a new feature.

2024 Deals

This is the one time a year I discount my stuff. Namely my Course Bundles and $500 off a subscription to Shift's Everything Plan.

But the big one this year is a limited run of Shift shirts. I've been testing the designs and shirt quality for about a year now. You've probably seen me wear these at Laracon or during my livestreams. Well, if you like geek shirts, now's your chance to get one.
