Hi, I’m Benjamin—the guy who's making Laravel development even better with the New Debug Bar for Laravel! 🔥

I’ve been working with Laravel since 2015 (starting with version 5.1), and in 2022, I launched a successful blog that now attracts tens of thousands of monthly visitors. On top of that, I’m active in the Laravel community on X (formerly Twitter), where I share insights with my +6.4K followers.

The New Debug Bar for Laravel is an ambitious free and open source project, and I’m aiming to achieve the following:

Why I Need Your Support

To deliver the 1.0 version as quickly as possible and sustain its development long-term, I need your financial backing. Right now, I’m balancing freelance work with caring for my newborn and fiancée. While freelancing pays the bills, I’d much rather focus on serving the Laravel community full-time.

If your business relies on Laravel, consider sponsoring my work and help bring this game-changing tool to the community!
