📖 The value of a good database model
These articles are 4 years old but still really pertinent. They are write by Patrik aka @tray2_se who is in the top 10 of Laracasts leaderboard !
You might think that the way your store your data isn't really that important. Well it's more important than you think it is.
A good database design just like good clean code is the key to performance, not only for the end user but also for you the developer. A poor database model just like poorly written code will slow you down and furthermore it will slow your database queries down which results in a slow application.
📖 Building A Video Chat App Using Laravel 11 (Breeze, Reverb, Vue, PeerJs, WebRTC)
A complete tutorial (text + video) write by Binarytuts to build your own video chat app with Laravel.
🎥 I built a GUI in the terminal (with PHP)
Aaron Francis presents Solo :
Solo for Laravel is a package to run multiple commands at once, to aid in local development. All the commands needed to run your application live behind a single artisan command `php artisan solo`. Each command runs in its own tab in Solo. Enjoy a powerful, unified development environment.

📦 Laravel Passwordless Login
A nice package by Ed Grosvenor
This package provides a temporary signed route that logs in a user. What it does not provide is a way of actually sending the link to the route to the user. This is because I don't want to make any assumptions about how you communicate with your users.
📦 Laravel-Enum
Andrea Marco Sartori presents this great package :
Laravel Enum is a package designed for Laravel that enhances the capabilities of native PHP enums.
It encompasses all the features from its framework-agnostic counterpart, including:
comparing names and values
adding metadata to cases
hydrating cases from names, values, or meta
fluently collecting, filtering, sorting, and transforming cases
And it provides Laravel-specific functionalities:
autowiring meta to resolve classes through the Laravel IoC container
castable cases collection for Eloquent models
magic translations
encapsulation of Laravel cache and session keys
Artisan commands that:
annotate enums for IDE autocompletion of dynamic methods
create annotated enums, both pure and backed, with manual or automatic values
convert enums to TypeScript for backend-frontend synchronization
and much more!
