The Q4 delivery date can't come quickly enough!

I might have overdone it on the CPU, but hey, now I might be able to keep all my browser tabs open without issue 😅

We'll have to stream the unboxing and setup! Obviously, we'll put Omarchy on it 🔥

No stream tonight–Leia had a procedure done at the vet today and is going to need some time tonight to come off the anesthesia. And let's be honest, she's the most productive one on stream 😅

Probably going to stream tomorrow instead, so stay tuned for that!

@kevinullyott.com is an absolute professional at this. Although, someone paid channel points to prevent me from saying "Filament" right at the top of the stream, so that's a hard one to top.

I have a pipe dream to figure out a way to spend channel points to automatically change my desktop theme 😂

All revolves around the kids' bedtimes! They get up earlier now, so I can get started earlier (and, more importantly, go to bed at a somewhat reasonable hour)

Dude, so into that. I've been considering doing a streamed walkthrough of the Svelte interactive tutorial since so much has changed since the last time I did it, so you don't have to twist my arm all too much to get me to talk about Svelte 😅

Going to be working on two things on stream tonight:

- Better git worktree support in Laravel

- Finishing my Omarchy install for Laravel (as-needed)!

Come hang out at 8pm EDT if either of those things sound interesting to you! 😂

This story is a rollercoaster of emotions.

ME ME ME ME ME ME!

Holy smokes Svelte is so good! All I want to do it use it with Laravel. All those Inertia goodies? Would be great with Svelte. That Next.js starter option for Forge? Let's do SvelteKit.

Happy to talk through it!

Also think the Givebutter folks use Svelte, if I remember right!

Huuuuuuuge thank-you to @danharrin.com for hopping on stream and taking us through some parts of Filament v4 (after we bikeshedded the app idea for an hour first 😅)

If y'all haven't already, give @filamentphp.com v4 a go–it's such an easy way to build incredibly powerful apps 🔥
