I just published a new piece about YouTube and the podcast industry:

Will YouTube kill the podcast industry?
The podcast industry has long relied on the open nature of RSS to sustain a variety of small businesses. But that could all disappear if YouTube wins.

Blog post time! We use Inertia & Livewire at Spatie. Why both? When which? Many questions, many answers!

But if you want a definitive answer to which one is better, prepare to be disappointed.

@wesbos.com Hi! During your dotJS talk you mentioned you had a utility that notifies when your browser's framerate drops during development. Is this something open source?

Does Inertia have a way to always include data in the initial request, but have it lazy in subsequent requests? Kind of like `Inertia::lazy` but included on first load?

I could probably whip something up looking at the request headers but wondering if I'm missing a more idiomatic solution.

This week on the blog: @vanpachtenbeke.com on our philosophy around open source.

What to expect from open source
In 2023, DHH's decision to remove TypeScript from Hotwire and Turbo caused some drama in the JavaScript community. At Spatie we’re open source maintainers too, so this sparked an interesting debate: W...

New (kind of?) package day: Laravel Backup Server is now free and open source! 💽

It ensures your servers are backed up (using rsync). It purges old backups, monitors their health, and sends notifications when something's up.
