New video is out! Let's see how we could enhance the typing experience a bit. We'll add keyboard shortcuts to some toolbar items, like lists and headings, and then we'll also see how one could implement a markdown-inspired typing experience on Trix.

It's pretty cool that we can use the events on Trix to add custom typing experiences, like this markdown-inspired quick formatting:

A new video on this series is out! Let's see how we can style the Trix toolbar to match our theme. There are different ways we could go about styling it, I chose one that allows us to use Tailwind classes and custom toolbar button components.

In the previous video, we intentionally introduced an XSS attack vector by not escaping the HTML to keep it short. But we'll fix it with HTML Sanitization in this one! That's why they're releasing simultaneously.

Continuing the series, today I've released two videos. In the first one, we'll install the package in an existing Laravel application, migrate existing data into it, and then turn on rich text attributes encryption to keep it encrypted at rest.

I promised a video series on Trix & Laravel, and I only started working on it a few days ago. Here's the first video where I walkthrough the Workbench app inside the Rich Text Laravel package and dive into oembeds (which is based on Campfire):

While source-diving on Basecamp and HEY's front-end for a little bit, I noticed they're using this Duet Date Picker lib. It's such a nice lib, it uses Web Components and all that, so I documented how I could use it myself in my apps:

I've released a new version of Turbo Laravel with a convenient way to create Turbo Streams using the new `[method="morph"]` attribute. Morphing enables a more fluid page update experience using CSS transitions.

Check out this blog post: https://world.hey.com/tonysm/turbo-streams-with-morph-0742d38f
Example of a Turbo Stream update action using the new `->morph()` method, which adds a `[method="morph"]` to the generated Turbo Stream tag.
