    Hey, I’ve came over from Reddit and thought I’ll introduce myself as well. As every programmer, I’ve started way too many pet projects and almost all of them are starving. In terms of framework, I prefer Yii2 over Laravel every day. I feel like Laravel provides you a dozen different (seemingly equally good) ways of doing something. You could say it’s lacking clarity or guidance for the developer.

      Hey, welcome! Classic haha, I have far too many pet projects as well 😅

      And yeah agreed, it’s a bit dizzying to choose a Laravel “path”. Would probably be helpful to have a documentation page sort of like the Remix Stacks where they talk a little bit about which “path” to choose depending on app needs.

        Docs is another topic I really don’t like about Laravel. Why don’t you have a simple API doc with available functions and their parameters instead of that blog-style documentation. And no, I don’t want to watch a video about how to use X, I want to know what functions I can call. Oh and don’t get me started on all their global “helper” functions.

          This is not a comment trying to convert you to Laravel, but if you or anyone else is interested, an API doc actually exists and is available here.

            I really appreciate that, thank you. I sometimes have to work with an existing Laravel project at work and this is the kind of documentation I was looking for. Short, to the point, without blabbering.
