I'm not a huge AI supporter, but today, without much experience in Laravel, I was able to build a landing page with waitlisting, discount code generation, rate limiting the waitlist, and setting up a sync with my billing service (because I don't have non-test mode, but I want to be able to MVP this thing).

Laravel goes kinda crazy ngl.

Fed code and questions into Claude. Had very good output, sometimes a bit repetitive (as in they were duplicating unchanged templates in their response)

Dark colored text is actually really nice to read imo

If you didn’t know, you can now paste images into the post text editor!

Are there any modern packages for A/B testing for Laravel that anyone can recommend?

Looking to do some conversion testing on a landing page for a new service.

That might be exactly what I need, and first class package as well, excellent. Thanks!

As part of Vite 5.4.0, they now support the SASS modern compiler API and sass-embedded.

Sass Embedded is a dart.exe process that sits in the background and accepts sass input, and outputs CSS.

Now instead of using JS compiled from the Sass Dart repository, you can now directly use the Dart VM, which is significantly faster.

In the past, sass-embedded has had issues with repositories needing to build many small entry files, into many small output files. This was fixed at the beginning of the year, by using a long lived dart.exe rather than starting a dart.exe for every entry file. I'm very proud to have provided the prototype code for this, and it ended up halving our build times at work.

If you want to give it a shot, update your vite, and install www.npmjs.com/package/sass-embedded

instead of www.npmjs.com/package/sass .

Look, I know Tailwind is the shiny thing, but there are still many many companies out there relying on CSS and SCSS.
