I'm mostly an Elixir dev and use LiveView ( the tech that inspired Live wire) it would be so nice to have these kinds of component framework in the elixir ecosystem on top of Phoenix.

  Does Phoenix's new-ish component-based system not work for you?
  - julienmarie 3y ago
    I love the component based system and use it extensively (via surface-ui in fact as I started using it 2 years ago). It's more about having a strong component library. There is Petal[1] that looks like the most advanced one right now, but not yet as complete. [1] https://petal.build https://petal.build

They lost me at "beautiful". "Full stack components" is such a better description.

I don’t think this is the physically-based rendering thing from Flutter.

  It is not.

I understand PHP has some perceived baggage and is not seen as a modern language, but why wouldn't you use something like Filament to build a SaaS app?
- gjsman-1000 3y ago
  Because it’s not seen as cool and has little use for padding out your resume or expanding the IT budget. Also, if we’re talking about legacy baggage, let me tell you a story about JavaScript and “this”…

    which one?

  PHP is making a resurgence in my corners of the world - driven by Laravel. When deciding to spin up a new web project, the default used to be "Rails", then it moved to Node or Go + React, now its shifting towards Laravel...

Filament is a really, really nice tool. I've been enjoying it quite a bit - eager to dig into v3
- gjsman-1000 3y ago
  It looks delightful and I loved v2... but I'm still holding back a bit because it relies on Livewire v3, which hasn't had a stable release yet. Maybe in a month or two...
  - eclipxe 3y ago
    The only thing I'm more excited for than Filament v3 is Livewire v3....
    - gjsman-1000 3y ago
      I've been using Livewire since v1 (2020)... and I'll just be honest, I can't imagine doing it any other way. Are customers really begging for SPAs anyway? But now I'll have the best of both worlds... I'm still hoping that one day the mass psychosis of modern JavaScript will finally subside.

      Same. Livewire has been transformative for my approach to webapps.

Been using it for more than a year for creating admin panel. And never look back. You should try it.

Filament is absolutely amazing. I'm super excited for this release (and Livewire v3). I built many projects with Laravel Nova and Filament is by far the better tool. In the past year I converted most Nova projects over to Filament. Way more flexible, and the developers are also way more receptive to feedback. And best of all--it's free! After multiple years of React/Next.js chaos working in this ecosystem again feels like sitting on the couch under a warm blanket.
