We've seen an increase in spam bots working their way around regular honeypot form protections lately, mostly sending random gibberish (what's the point?). What do you use for effective antispam protection on #laravel forms?
Turning spreadsheets into something people actually want to explore? Say less, we got you covered. With citytransit.uitp.org we found ways to make global public transport data fun to discover. Data made visual, design made useful. #DataViz #Mobility #WebDesign #Whitecube #UITP
Nouveaux tarifs @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social, une vaste blague. Il y a urgence écologique et au lieu de pousser les usagers occasionnels à passer plus facilement aux transports en commun, on fait l'exact inverse.
Laravel 12.x pro tip. Instead of registering all routes in the same file, you can just pass an array of web-related routes to application's "withRouting" bootstrapping method. Also works for API routes 😀
Last week, Julien showed you the challenges behind infosante.be. This week, we’re going behind the scenes: from the main page design, to body part searches, to the system logos that make it all work. More on the project: whitecube.be/projets/info... #WebDesign #UXDesign #Whitecube #infosante

What do you do when new project ideas start popping wildly in your 🧠, even in the middle of the night?
They say the more the merrier, so Toon’s got two new associates; Julien, Operations Director. He does backflips so that projects run smoothly and on time. Adrien, Technical Director. He whacks his hands on the keyboard until everything works. Can't go wrong with these three 🥹
The belgian railway @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social probably offers the worst possible online user experience I have ever encountered on a Business Portal. It must be hard to fail that much, I'm under the impression it's on purpose.
Phew, we did it. Say hello to our brand new website ! 🖥️ Honest, refined and more Whitecube than ever. It highlights what we do best and the people behind every project we build with you. → whitecube.be Let us know what you think ! #Whitecube #WebDevelopment #WebsiteDesign
Hot damn! This one's been in the making for a while, I'll be happy to see it live in a few days 👀
Whitecube.@whitecube.be · last yr.We’re launching a new website. It’s got exploding monkeys. Yup. But it’ll make sense, promise. Going live in less than a week. Stay tuned! 💥🐒 #Whitecube #WebDev #ComingSoon #WebsiteDesign
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!
One thing I don't get about the mandatory switch to PEPPOL: there's no free basic access. I’m fine with paying for added value (easy setup, etc.), but if it's required by law, there should be a zero-cost path. I should be able to run my own access point with just time and effort.
Huge thanks to everyone for showing up, we're really happy with how it went! 🧠 Congratulations to all the quiz winners Special thanks to NativePHP for sponsoring our first event! Next event is on June 19th, hope to see you there! 👉 RSVP here: eventy.io/events/5pgy8...
Had a blast at @phpxbru.com yesterday with the team, glad to see so many aspiring developers join us! I've even won this glorious mug I'll be very proud to showcase to my mom. 🤯
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
Want to learn about Hiker? That's the time, that's the place! RSVP: www.meetup.com/php-antwerp/...
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 🤓
Is there an easy way to store blade components in a modular directory structure? For instance, for a monolith with a website and an app, I'd like to store components under "website/components" instead of "components/website". This does not seem to be possible out of the box? #laravel
It's that time of the year again, days before a new Laravel release, and you're wondering "should I wait a bit before I start hacking on that new side-project"? Well, since Laravel 12 is supposed to be the simplest upgrade ever, I guess we'll just go ahead... and ship? 😁
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.
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 🚀
Probably the hardest thing in the whole @hiker.dev process: talking to a camera. Thanks @aaronfrancis.com for screencasting.com, we still have lots to improve but your course made us take the leap!

void 🌖@leloup.dev · 2y agoThat 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 🥳
