It's been a long time coming, but Cargo is finally in alpha! 📦🎉
Cargo is my e-commerce addon for Statamic. I've been working on it for just over a year now. It's been a lot of work but I'm *really* happy with how it's turned out.

🔥 Just tagged Statamic 6 *Alpha 19*.
Probably only more alpha to go before beta with the final launch aimed for January. It's the beginning of an exciting new era.

Year In Review 2025
2025 was busy in a good way: worked hard on Statamic 6, launched an alpha of Cargo, spoke at my first meetup and took my first solo trip.

Say hello to a brand new kind of prop in Inertia: Once Props! 💨
Once Props are evaluated only once on the server and then carried over to the next page that has the same prop. This is ideal for shared data that rarely changes or data that is huge or expensive to compute.

As of the next alpha, you'll be able to invalidate specific URLs via the Cache Manager utility. 🧹
Super handy for clearing pages you missed from your invalidation rules!

Just dropped Statamic 6 ALPHA 18 — look at that tiny little changelog. 😘
You might be wondering why we've been in alpha so long. Because we have 1 more thing to break (on purpose), and then it'll be a short beta before shipping final. ❤️

I'm wrapping up an extensive #statamic Antlers scope/papercut audit and preparing to start some refactors.
Have anything you'd like me to consider while I work on this?

It's probably old news at this point, but I'm really liking Claude Code in the browser.
I can give it a prompt when I'm in bed, then it'll be ready for me to review when I'm at my desk.
Super handy!
(I didn't write this prompt on my phone though 😄)

There are only ten of these.
A limited run of Laravel for the Rest of Us hardback editions.
They’re not for sale, but one could be yours ✨
Pre-order before 18 November at laravelfortherestofus.com, and you’ll be entered into a draw to win one of these limited-edition hardbacks.

The "Remember Me" checkbox is the biggest scam on the internet.
Has anyone figured out what it actually does? 🫠

Hacked on a utility called Tether at the weekend.
Clone a package down, run Tether, select the package you wanna link and it'll configure a Composer repository & symlink Vite assets. 🔗
It's pretty scrappy, but hopefully it's useful to someone!
