And no, not because of all the cookout food with this warm weather. Not just because of that at least. We're excited to announce that Joshua Blum has joined the core Statamic team!

Joshua is a full stack developer from Cologne, Germany with lots of experience with our beloved SALT stack (Statamic, Alpine, Laravel, Tailwind). He’ll be jumping into customer support, building and improving our learning content, encouraging and empowering the community, and helping to grow Statamic awareness across the weird wide web.

With his help (and timezone) — we’re able to extend the hours we can provide support, which will go a long way in serving our rapidly-growing European community.

I’m really excited to have his help, ideas, contagious energy, and fluency of the German language on the team.

Antlers Support for PHP Storm has arrived!

Thanks to Stefano Kowalke, you can now take advantage of Antlers syntax — including support for the new Runtime mode — in PHP Storm/IntelliJ. Check it out!

3.4 is coming soon!

We're currently hard at work on Statamic 3.4. It will include big improvements to bard, asset and preset management, and maybe a little more. We'll share more details as they're solidified. Check out the roadmap.

May's Progress & Pulse
