i built "Crownfall"
a 3d medieval game on near where eight great houses compete for one empty throne. (game of thrones) esq
each house has its own memecoin that players can buy and sell at the mint. to enter a house's game, you burn its coin. the more people play, the more demand it creates for that coin.
there are nine games, a story to follow, and chariot races to bet on. races and dice rolls are settled directly by near smart contracts.
there are also four ai rival lords, each with their own wallets, competing against you.
at the end of each season, the house with the highest player support claims the throne, and its players share the prize pool.
you don't need to connect a wallet. just sign in with google or enter a name. crownfall creates a real near testnet account for you and handles transactions in the background, no wallet popups.

76,846 handwritten result sheets are uploaded after every Nigerian election.
but let's be honest, how many people actually go through them?
i decided to build something that does.
it's called recount.
it uses @Meta muse spark to read every result sheet, check the figures against the numbers written in words, and flag anything that doesn't add up.
and it doesn't just flag issues blindly. when something looks off, muse spark takes another look to avoid mistakes caused by smudges or poor handwriting.
you can even upload a result sheet someone forwards to you on whatsapp, and recount will compare it with INEC's original.
i tested it against the osun election results, and the total came within 0.11% of INEC's declared figure.
the bigger idea is simple: make it harder to manipulate election results without anyone noticing. when every result sheet can be independently checked, there's less room for discrepancies to go unnoticed.
recount isn't here to declare winners. it's here to help protect the integrity of the process by making sure every sheet gets read and accounted for before 16 january 2027.
built for the @AIatMeta & @MetaforDevs indie developer track.

Important change in Laravel installation docs.
The "composer create-project" option is removed, in favor of Laravel Installer as MAIN recommended way.
So (finally?) the newcomers will have ONE QUICK way to install Laravel:
- php.new
- laravel new project
- cd project
- composer run dev (replacing "php artisan serve")
Of course, some devs will prefer the "composer create-project" and that still WORKS.
But it's not in the docs anymore.
Makes sense, in my opinion, it's a good move, cause installation was too fragmented with multiple options.
Now, seasoned devs will still use "laravel new" or remember the "composer create-project", but newcomers will have better docs.
Writing it as someone who analyzed the docs of a dozen CMSs this week and was frustrated with "quick start" installation instructions in most of them.
But if you disagree with such docs change, you may find likeminded people on... guess where? Yup, Reddit: reddit.com/r/laravel/comment…

Hey Laravel Developers 👩💻
One of the common operations in any web application is saving a file available from an external URL.
PHP provides the file_get_contents() function to retrieve the file by passing the URL.
By combining this with the file_put_contents() function, we can save the external file.
But what if we want to pass additional headers while requesting the external file?
For example, passing Authorization headers isn't possible with file_get_contents() since it does not accept headers.
In those cases, Laravel's HTTP Client provides the sink() method, which allows us to easily pass headers and save the file to the desired path.
Plus, we also benefit from all the HTTP Client features like retries, exception handling, etc.
