Cogway is built by Alberto Arena and stands on a lot of open-source work. Thank you to everyone who made these.

Framework and tooling

  • Astro, the static site framework.
  • Vue 3, for the interactive simulator islands.
  • Tailwind CSS, for page chrome.
  • TypeScript, everywhere.
  • Shiki, for syntax highlighting in code blocks.

Testing

  • Vitest, for the reducer and component unit tests.
  • Playwright, for the smoke tests.

Typefaces

All three are open-source, served locally, under the SIL Open Font License:

  • Chivo, for display headings.
  • IBM Plex Sans, for body text.
  • IBM Plex Mono, for code and labels.

Services

  • Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which collect nothing until you consent. See the Cookie Policy for what that does and does not mean.
  • MailerLite, for the newsletter.
  • Netsons for hosting and Cloudflare for DNS.

New explainer, one email

When a new Laravel or PHP explainer ships, get a heads-up. No spam, unsubscribe anytime. Your address is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

The form is hosted by MailerLite and sets its own cookies, so it loads once you accept. Accepting here turns on analytics too, exactly as the cookie banner does. See the Cookie Policy.

Cogway

Interactive explainers for Laravel and PHP. One concept at a time, turned into something you can step through, break, and run again.

We use cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how the explainers are used, and accepting also loads the newsletter form, which sets its own. No advertising and no profiling. Cookie Policy
