š Introducing Flare Rouletteā¢
Ruben
Being a developer is hard. We're writing code throughout the day to find out at the end of the week that this code isn't working as expected. Sometimes, this can make us a bit emotional, we have a hard time figuring out what's happening, and we resort to measures beyond the non-programming folks' imagination, like talking to rubber ducks trying to find that one bug in our code.
We, as the developers of Flare, are convinced this should stop! That's why we're introducing Flare Roulette⢠today. Let's make bug-fixing great again!
The best way to fix bugs within your code is to not talk to a rubber duck or get a mental breakdown where you want to smash your laptop against the wall. Are you going to ask an untrusty AI for anwers? No! The best way to fix bugs is by talking to people, talking with each other, and having the satisfaction of solving a bug together.
Flare Roulette⢠is a new feature within the Flare application where everyone with the same exception will be thrown in a random chat roulette because solving an error with two is like a dream coming true.

You'll be paired with another Artisan, and the both of you can find a solution to your shared problem.

Can't find a solution together? No problem. By clicking the "find another Artisan" button, you'll be matched with another developer in despair with who you can hopefully find the answer.

This feature will drastically reduce development time and raise bug-fixing satisfaction by 42%! What are you waiting for? Register now and start bug fixing š¤

Integration testing our Laravel package with a real server and queue
When unit tests aren't enough. We started testing the Laravel Flare package against a real application in order to verify that our code works using orchestra workbench. Here's how we did it.

A minimal "Last used" login option indicator with Alpine.js
Flare's login page now remembers which sign-in option you used last time. Built on Alpine's $persist plugin and just about 25 lines of code.
