I just shipped AI Project Assistant (v1) inside IndieDesk.

Project-aware chat, per-project settings & API keys, clean UI, and saved history, all in one place.

Fewer tabs, more focus.

Laravel Boost for Package Development | Dennis Koch 26.01.2026 – Learn how to configure Laravel Boost with Orchestra Testbench and Workbench for AI-powered Laravel package development. Includes path fixes and MCP server setup

Over the weekend, I attempted to get Laravel Boost working while developing Laravel packages. This morning, I wrote a blog post about my workaround.

#Laravel

Cleaning up duplicated queries in IndieDesk.

Same data fetched multiple times, now just once.

Small fix, better performance.

I automated invoice draft generation on IndieDesk.
Client data comes from the DB, my business info from the Company settings (VAT, logo, etc).

One click and the document is ready to send.

Get paid → issue the real electronic invoice.

Just added to IndieDesk:

Task
Meeting
Payment

All auto-added to Google Calendar, already prefilled.

Projects feel lighter when you don’t have to remember everything.

Building a personal work management tool for developers.
Clients, projects, tasks, costs & payments...focused on real indie/project work.

Always review and optimize

No new features today.
Just testing, bug fixing and optimizations across IndieDesk modules.
Boring days build better products.

Started sketching the dashboard + office stats module today for my DevWorkspace.
Still early, but I’m liking the direction.

What do you think?
Feedback welcome

#buildinpublic #Laravel #indiehackers #SideProject #PHP #indiedev #ProductivityTools

gotcha...thanks for responding

I saw it! Thanks.
I wanted to ask you a question...

What’s the most annoying or frustrating thing to keep under control in your work as a dev?
(not technical...organizational, or work management related)

What is the tool are you using? I mean your dashboard

It could be a tool finding the source Through some agent that discover the IP address to what country belong and if the user has clicked to arrive to your site

Spent today setting up Docusaurus for my DevWorkspace documentation.
Good docs save time, reduce friction, and make software usable

Refactor day.

I cleaned up the modules already implemented (clients, projects, tasks).
The foundation is now more solid and easier to work with.

Next steps: bug fixes, UX improvements, and only features that actually matter.

#buildinpublic #IndieHackers #ProductivityTools #IndieDev

Herd...That's it!

That's right Travis

WIP: Payments & Costs module inside the Project page 💸
Added a profits tab so I can see if a project is actually profitable or not.
No vanity metrics...just real numbers.

Building a Developer Workspace to organize dev work.
Still WIP, but coming together nicely.
#buildinpublic

Keep it up with KeepHer!

Making progress 🔥

Today I wrapped up 2FA in my Laravel Breeze project 🔐
Custom implementation with google2fa-laravel (antonioribeiro).
Recovery codes ✅ + clean flow.
Dedicated Form Requests, slim controllers, separated logic.
Security first 🚀

It feels like everyone uses Next.js because it’s the most ‘visible’ stack online. But honestly, the only thing that matters is using whatever helps you ship well and keep the product stable. Rust is super legit.

Working on a side project! 🚀

After years of building for others, I’m finally building something for me: a streamlined tool for devs to manage projects, clients, and tasks. No fluff, just what’s needed.

Let's see where it leads!
