I'm Robert Askam, a software developer in the UK. I've been building with PHP and Laravel for over a decade, from small client sites to busy production apps with queues, scheduled jobs and the odd trading bot.
This site started as a place to write down fixes I kept having to look up again: server set-ups, upgrade gotchas, deployment scripts. Over time it collected a set of small tools I use every day, so I made them free for anyone to use.
What you'll find here
- Posts on Laravel, PHP, Vue, servers and deployment, written from real projects.
- 103 free tools for formatting, encoding, hashing and converting data. Most run entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
- An RSS feed if you'd like new posts in your reader.
