@simonhamp @phpc I just grabbed a mini license, too. Excited to see how this works. Thanks!
1,000 LICENSES SOLD
Turns out #laravel devs do want to build mobile apps
With #nativephp the bridge from Blade to mobile
Turn your web app into a real app
No Java. No Swift. Just Laravel
And 1,000 of you just walked through the door.
NativePHP gives access to system features, like Touch ID on Mac
Access the clipboard, including text or images.
You can also access printers and Bluetooth devices connected to the machine.
You can use whatever you want - Livewire, Inertia, Blade. It just works.
The #NativePHP announcement at #LaraconUS reminded me that I contributed code to Titanium back in 2010 to embed #PHP into their application for building desktop apps.
Since PHP was embedded rather than distributed as a static binary, Titanium itself could parse and run PHP code. It was an interesting concept, but then mobile app dev took off and Titanium decided to focus there instead. https://speakerdeck.com/ramsey/desktop-apps-with-php-and-titanium-php-tek-2010
You can create desktop apps with PHP now
I have mixed feelings about this
