Awesome tips for Laravel
A community-maintained collection of 357 Laravel tips organized across 14 categories — Eloquent, routing, validation, migrations, and more. It's a reference dump aimed at Laravel developers who want to discover framework features they didn't know existed, not a tutorial or a library.
The Eloquent section alone (100 tips) covers genuinely non-obvious patterns like `withCount`, `firstOrCreate`, `valueOrFail`, and query scopes that most developers learn by accident years into using the framework. Tips are short, code-first, and scannable — no padding. The repo is actively maintained with contributions through mid-2025, so it tracks modern Laravel rather than rotting on Laravel 5 idioms. Community translations and terminal/Raycast integrations show real adoption beyond passive GitHub stars.
357 tips in flat markdown files means zero discoverability — finding a specific tip requires Ctrl+F or knowing which category file to open, and there's no search. No version tagging means it's unclear which tips apply to which Laravel versions; some older ones may conflict with current framework behavior without any warning. The 'Other' section (73 tips, 20% of the total) is a sign the taxonomy broke down and nobody cleaned it up. This is reference material, not learning material — someone new to Laravel will find it overwhelming rather than useful.
