What it does

Tinkerwell is Laravel's "php artisan tinker" on steroids. Try out your local code within seconds using the built-in Laravel app, run it against one of your local applications, or even run code remotely all secure via an SSH connection.

Quickly iterate on PHP code within the context of your web application with Tinkerwell – the must-have companion for your favorite IDE.

Enjoy coding and debugging in an editor designed for fast feedback and quick iterations. It's like a shell for your application – but with multi-line editing, code completion, and more. Tinkerwell ships with drivers for all major frameworks and is extendable to support any PHPfrom tinkerwell.app

    Hi HN, I'm opening up the beta for IndigoStack. It's a native macOS app which provides a fresh take on how to run all the services you need for local web development.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
