Not a single person I've ever met who had at least $1M liquid would advise keeping anymore than what your bank will FDIC insure per account, let alone $50M in friggen PayPal. If there was any way to tell everyone you're lying, this is the fastest.
I would like to introduce you all to Skeletor. Skeletor is a @laravelphp application skeleton scaffolding package. Laravel's installer is great but limited to only what the Laravel team wants to support (and that's fine), but many of us would like to be able to provide custom templates for various things and that's what Skeletor aims to solve. How it works is when you run `composer create-project` on a Skeletor application skeleton, it will hook into the `post-create-project-cmd` event after Composer sets up the project and start running additional setup commands that the skeleton author defines in a Skeletorfile.php file in the root of the skeleton. As you can see in the video below, it prompts you asking for application name, what database you want, install frontend dependencies, etc. Each skeleton can provide its own setup. In the first ever skeleton `starter/laravel` is configured with what I personally like my Laravel apps to start out with, then prompts you to customize things as you need. As you can see at the end you just cd into the project and run `composer dev` to kickoff @aarondfrancis's excellent Solo which has everything setup for you. I hope to expand heavily on this and clean it up a bit, so please be aware this is early version and it could be buggy, so don't hesitate to let me know if you have issues.

@ThePrimeagen This live stream failure would have never happened if you still worked there.
No dogging on Levels as this is an industry dark pattern, but you can avoid the need for this alert by literally telling them how they'll get billed on the page instead of "42 per month" in stand out letters diverting away from the real "billed annually $499" Just say "If you select monthly you'll be billed $17 a month, if you select annually you will be billed $499/yr" It's not rocket appliance. Maybe indie hackers next step of their journey after learning how to do marketing is learning how to construct your own copy and terms instead of doing what everyone else does without wondering why they do that.
@ThePrimeagen I'm okay with ad supported tiers for those who would rather save money than not see an ad, but if I'm paying rental prices, you put an ad in the middle of my movie, I'm gonna go nuclear.
"I find it fun to learn new things..." - opening words from @joshcirre in his latest video about @tan_stack start... Josh, those words, the tone used and face you made while saying it... Gave me a "welcome to my new series where I learn new things" vibe. If you decide to do that, please open each video in the series off that same exact way. Smooth. 🤌 Now back to the video.
This was bothering me about the Laravel Prompts spinner, after it completes it leaves a new line so I went to go submit a PR fixing it but looks like a lot of intern team discussions about how the proposed solutions won't work with how Laravel needs it to. I'm not working inside a Laravel app for this stuff, so I just fixed it myself. Now you see the second run it doesn't show the success message on a new line, but erases the previous line (which spinner leaves) and writes it there.
Three things you should never cheap out on: 1. Office chair (if you work at a desk all day) 2. Good shoes (you're on your feet alot) 3. A good mattress/bed (You spend 1/3rd of your life there)
@QuinnyPig You know a bunch of "ship fast indie hackers" are gonna take this seriously right?
