Returning to our theme this year of devolution, this idea of evolving as developers and lots of things rapidly changing in our space at the moment.
Filament lets you stop custom building a lot of the plumbing.
What is something that you used to believe had to be bespoke to make a product feel real, but you now happily let the framework own?
So, you know, most people know you can create the admin panel with filament.
You spin it up pretty easily and you get kind of everything out of the box.
But I find not only is that really good to help get started in an application, but I find myself using the forms package or, you know, the tables in isolation as live wire components, even on the front end for sort of public-facing customers.
I think it's just one of those things, especially probably with the tables, it's just not something you want to build yourself when you're adding the sorting and the filtering and searching and every feature that it has.
So probably those kind of standard components, especially for data and then the custom stuff, we can still pepper on top later on.
Yeah, it's an interesting thing.
When filament sort of first came out, it was a matter of sitting and going, well, we already have Nova, and it was always the thing that Nova is first party, it's a paid product, filament was free, and it's like, where does this fit? But I think even Laravel themselves have said that Filament is the way forward.
So I think they've got other priorities now in terms of what they want to focus on.
So it's interesting that Filament has not just been the admin panel, but expanding beyond that into what you can provide to your end users as well.
I think
I think they're using Fitamic for some of it, and there's Filament, there's a few...
yeah i don't know if they fully converted over to statamic i think they announced that back in july uh but yeah it's it's interesting to see how that go thing things permeate through the community all the way up to you know quote unquote the top has
become almost like quasi like first party they sort of become so adopted that they pretty much are first party at that point um
