Hey, friend!

There's a lot happening right now. A lot. And I keep signing up for new things. But I can't stop! I have SO many exciting projects on my plate right now.

I could run through all of them right now, but I think I'm just going to share one, and then ask you a favor.

Introducing BuiltWithLaravel.com

I already wrote an article about it on Laravel News, so you can see a bit more detail there.

But here's the short version: I found myself often wanting to show folks that Laravel is a legitimate tool used by many legitimate businesses. I can't begin to describe the number of times we've had a promising conversation with a potential client only for someone in the organization to derail the potential partnership with their antiquated idea that PHP is out of date.

So, I built a site for listing out all the amazing organizations and companies using Laravel. It's not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to highlight some of the companies that will most impress a CEO, or a CFO, or a board member, when they need to be reassured an investment in Laravel leaves them in good company.

My question to you

Tighten's newsletter (you can sign up at https://tighten.com/insights/) has historically just wrapped up our latest posts on the blog and shared them, once a month.

But I've been thinking for a while about using that newsletter to instead write some business-related thoughts in the newsletter; sort of like the long-form content I often write here, but purely from a business perspective, about how to run teams and build apps.

Is this something you think folks would be interested in? Would you be interested in it? I'd love your thoughts, if you have a moment to write!

What Else?
