I've been reflecting on @laracon.au over the last few days.

It was 100% the best conference I've ever attended. Huge props to @dyrynda.au for the meticulously organised event.

The vibes were great, the community was so welcoming and supportive, and the speakers did a fantastic job.
I agree, looks very promising.
Funny coincidence that your wrote 16, it probably should have come in v16 😎

Of course we also remain committed to our existing WooCommerce extensions, and we plan on launching more solutions for both Shopify and WooCommerce in the coming months.

I'm excited to have our in-house team of digital marketing experts on hand to help us market and promote our first ever Shopify app.

We've been able to leverage our experience working with many wineries, and build a solution for Shopify.

We've also had to learn a lot about the Shopify app store ecosystem, and now the challenge of marketing our new app begins.

It's been really fun learning the Shopify app development platform over the last 6 weeks, and buliding an app using Laravel, React, Typescript and Liquid.

A very different stack compared to the WooCommerce extension ecosystem that we've been building with for the last decade.

I'm excited to announce that our first ever Shopify app is now available in the Shopify app store.

It allows wineries to easily sell mixed dozen wine cases.

Inspired by @justinjackson.ca’s Laravel starter pack, I’ve thrown together one of Australian Laravel folks!

Keep in touch with some local people sharing your affinity for the Laravel framework, between Laracons.

Missed people? Let me know!

Yes please, it’s so much nicer having the PR description up to date and accurate.
As someone who has to read a LOT of pull requests, I do have one wish for you: 🙏

Please update the initial PR description if the implementation or names change due to feedback/reviews.

Despite being a software engineer for almost 20 years, I enjoyed the "non technical" presentations the most.

It was great getting to know the Laravel community, even though I've only been using Laravel for 2-3 years intermittently.

I can't wait for @laracon.au 2025!

Monday morning, let’s go!
It’s not a ‘laravel new’ kind of week unfortunately, but plenty of good things planned.

Thanks for your talk last week Ryan, it was great.
