Hiker
@hiker.dev
A new take on building applications using Laravel. Coming soon. 👀 https://hiker.dev
Last week we shared the Hiker demo. This week, we focus on the website. Clean, simple, full of docs & guides for you to go through. Go take a look 👉 hiker.dev #HikerDev #Laravel #WebDev #Whitecube
Sponsor alert! Thanks to @whitecube.be for making this event possible. One of Whitecube’s biggest projects ever, @hiker.dev, is getting an open-source release next year. Contact them today to get early-access!
Great #meetup at PHP Antwerp in the @spatie.be offices! Pizzas, devs & inspiring talks. 🔥 @leloup.dev gave our first public talk, showing how Hiker simplifies complex applications in Laravel. 👉 Devs, @hiker.dev is in early access! DM us for a license 😎 hiker.dev

March meetup @ Spatie, Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 7:00 PM | Meetup
Dear Members For our meetup in March, we're excited to welcome you at **Spatie**. Be sure to RSVP, as we have 40 seats available! 📣 Our fantastic speakers for this month

void 🌖@leloup.dev · last yr.I'm a speaker at the next #PHPAntwerp event on March 27th, next week! At the @spatie.be headquarters, no less 😱 I'll be talking about a design pattern that's been really great for building large-scale Laravel apps (using @hiker.dev). Can't wait 🤓
Glad to see some repositories emerging, inspired by @hiker.dev 🙂 💡 Remember, there are 2 distinctive parts to Hiker: the flows pattern (as a standalone package called "Trail") and a modern UI automatically reacting in real time to these flows. Keen to check it out? Request an access token! 🙏
It's been amazing to see people's reactions to @hiker.dev so far, and we've barely scratched the surface. There's a lot more to it than the simple demo app we've shared. If you'd like your own early-access holographic license, get in touch! We'd love to hear your feedback.
That post #LaraconEU feeling is something else! Feeling inspired and motivated like never before. Loving the "ship stuff quickly" ethos and hoping to do my part to help with that this year with @hiker.dev!
I will be at the #LaraconEU unconference with @toonvandenbos.com today at 16:20 to give a super quick demo of what @hiker.dev is like! Come have a peek 👀
Like @bobbybouwmann.bsky.social's presentation on pipelines? @leloup.dev and myself have been working hard for the past years making the pipeline pattern even better! Take a look at @hiker.dev, we'd love your feedback 😊 If you're at #laraconEU, we can hand you an early-access token 🚀
That was not easy but we did it! Recorded an intro video for @hiker.dev's homepage. Much to improve but it's a start. Just in time for #LaraconEU 🥳
Made my very first view with Hiker 1.0 and it was delightful. I love it already and can't wait to see where @toonvandenbos.com and @leloup.dev will take it next 👀 hiker.dev
Want to be part of a new chapter in #laravel development? Come get your unique early-access token at #laraconEU, there's only 250 of them! 👉 hiker.dev 👀
The @hiker.dev holo early-access cards just arrived! I redacted the QR code for obvious reasons, but if you see me or @toonvandenbos.com at #LaraconEU, come say hi, you'll get one of these for yourself and get exclusive early-access to Hiker. Presentation website coming later this week!
Had a lot of fun working on a holographic shader for our upcoming @hiker.dev early access licenses. Come find @toonvandenbos.com or myself at Laracon EU and you'll get one of these cards, they contain a unique key to be one of the first people to use Hiker!
Have you ever dived into custom composer repositories? That's what we did for @hiker.dev and the least we can say is that it was an interesting experience! There's something special to creating a Laravel app that's able to respond to composer commands.
Entering the docs writing phase for @hiker.dev. Boy it's not easy. Lots of respect to @taylorotwell.bsky.social and the Laravel team for having some of the best-written docs around, you set the bar quite high for the rest of us.
Hiker is the culmination of 5 years of working on the best possible way to build Laravel applications for our clients. And after using open-source software for nearly ten years to build our careers, it's time to give back. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
