Hi all! Long time no see. Sorry I disappeared for a while, I got really burnt out and was just doing my day job with no desire to code after hours.

I'm starting to get back into it with the v1.0 release of NativePHP, which is my new favorite thing in a LONG time as someone that use to write native iOS apps in Objective-C and Swift and hated it.

The team at NativePHP has done something that I never though would be possible, or even acceptable by Apple's standards for the App Store. They packaged a whole Laravel environment with a bridge to interact with native phone functionality.

The way I usually learn something new is by creating a real life project with it. In this case I decided to write a NativePHP app with a Laravel API bridge and Filament 3 backend. I took it a step further by adding a core package shared between the two.

I took the Spatie approach and added a configure script that asks you a bunch of questions and modifies all 3 projects to your needs.

I normally release these things for free, but in the spirit of spending $250 for NativePHP and $300 for FluxUI Pro, I dedided to charge a small fee for my work.

You get all 3 projects ready to go out of the box to create your app and web version, along with a configured Filament backend with a bunch of included packages.

You can purchase it here: NativePHP Starter-Kit ($15)

I will keep it updated as I will also be using it, I hope you get some use out of it and thank you for supporting me!

Here's a demo of a project I just started with it, communicating with the Backend API and getting a Sanctum token. It creates a shadow user locally in sqlite and logs the user in with the default Laravel session authentication which means you have full access to all of those features.
