Welcome π
π Hey there, I'm Sam! Iβm a full-stack web developer from the south of England and have a huge passion for building awesome open-source software for the PHP community.
If you are considering sponsoring, thank you so much. Your sponsorship will go towards maintaining and updating my Laravel packages and services. Your sponsor goes directly to me, which I often use to pay for my software licenses, coffee or better hardware to develop with.
My Open Source Projects
Here's a summary of the projects that your sponsorship will help maintain.
π€ Saloon
Saloon is tool to help you build better integrations with third-party APIs. It provides you with an eloquent, standardised syntax that will scale with your team. With Saloon, you don't have to worry about the underlying HTTP Client like Guzzle and spend more time with the data that APIs give you.

π₯ XML Wrangler
XML Wrangler is a simplistic, modern PHP library designed to make reading and writing XML easy. XML Wrangler has been built with developer experience in mind - you can read any type of XML file, even with complex namespaces and even large XML files. It will also throw exceptions if the XML is invalid!

π΅ Cactus (Upcoming)
Cactus is a super simple tool that allows you to create data transfer objects (or DTOs) on your local machine directly from your tests or your terminal. It is a great companion to any developer working with Saloon or XML Wrangler or just building lots of API integrations.
This is coming soon, keep an eye out on my Twitter/X profile!
π Lasso
Lasso is your asset "wrangler" (see what I did there). It's built for Laravel, and it automatically compiles your Webpack/Laravel Mix assets and uploads them to a Filesystem of your choice. It will then download those assets on all your web servers.

π₯SSH-PHP
SSH-PHP is a super simple starting project for building terminal apps for PHP. It comes pre-configured with a custom-built Dockerfile that runs an SSH server so your users can ssh your-server
and use your terminal app! It's pretty awesome and has been a fun project to learn and deploy Docker images.

π©βπΎ Laravel Haystack (Retired)
Laravel Haystack is a package that allows you to have a job chain stored in the database. Since all of the jobs in the chain are in the database, memory usage is low and you can delay jobs for a long time or have long-running jobs without risking using all your memory. Laravel Haystack supports every queue connection/worker out of the box. (Database, Redis/Horizon, SQS).
