    Caleb Porzio Unveils Paraframe: AI Design for Developers
    Nov 11 2026
    In this episode, Matt Stauffer sits down with Caleb Porzio, creator of Livewire, Alpine.js, and Flux, for the first public look at Paraframe, his new AI-powered design tool for developers.They dig into “true sight,” which is Caleb’s word for fully understanding the system you’re building. They talk about why open source and agency code still need human review when product code might not, and why Caleb’s team found AI makes fewer layout mistakes with plain HTML and CSS than with Tailwind.They also get into tabs, chats, and designing tools for ADHD brains. Matt shares his mixed feelings about the industry’s growing reliance on AI labs.Matt Stauffer on X - https://x.com/mattstaufferCaleb Porzio on X - https://x.com/calebporzioCaleb Porzio’s Podcast - https://notesonwork.com/Podcast episode introducing Paraframe - https://notesonwork.com/episodes/business-is-catan-and-im-building-something-newParaframe - https://paraframe.app/Livewire - https://livewire.laravel.com/Flux UI - https://fluxui.devAlpine.js - https://alpinejs.devClaude Design (Matt’s current workflow) - https://claude.ai/designClaude Agent SDK (how Paraframe connects to your own Claude Code) - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/overviewLaravel Boost - https://laravel.com/blog/announcing-laravel-boostPaper (design tool) - https://paper.designWispr Flow (Caleb’s dictation app) - https://wisprflow.aiSuperwhisper - https://superwhisper.comDeckset (the slide simplicity Caleb wanted) - https://www.deckset.com/Cloudflare R2 (Paraframe’s storage) - https://www.cloudflare.com/developer-platform/products/r2/Laravel Website - https://laravel.com/Tighten Website - https://tighten.com/----- Editing and transcription sponsored by Tighten - https://tighten.com/Big thanks to the companies that support the show:Flare by Spatie - http://flareapp.io and Performance Monitoring - http://flareapp.io/performance-monitoringSerpAPI - https://serpapi.com?utm_source=laravel_podcast

  • Eric Barnes Lives a Dream Life, Launching PHP News

    Eric Barnes Lives a Dream Life, Launching PHP News
    Oct 13 2026

    Matt Stauffer kicks off Season 8 of The Laravel Podcast with longtime friend Eric Barnes, creator of Laravel News, in a wide-ranging conversation that wanders well beyond code.


    They talk about how Eric learned sales on a motorcycle dealership floor, running a business with Profit First, and how Laravel News is changing now that AI has taken away search traffic. Eric argues that editorial curation still matters. They also announce their new project, PHPNews , and Matt makes the case that PHP is the best ecosystem for LLM-driven development.


    Along the way, they dig into building a low-stress life, celebrating your wins, and why success really comes down to time.
