October Statamic Newsletter

~ The October Newsletter πŸ‚ ~

Howdy folks!

To say it with the poetic words of Green Day:

Ten alphas have gone so fast,
wake me up when September ends

Well, it's October now, so wake up! It's time to build websites and empires. And spend time with your family and friends.

We're now ten alpha releases into Statamic 6 and the finish line is in sight. The groundwork is laid and we're finally able to build all sorts of highly requested features so much faster and effectively than v5, we're kinda nerding out pretty hard over here about what we're building for you, not gonna lie.

Statamic 6 Progress πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬

Here's what we've been up to this month:

Set Preview Images & Grid Mode

The new Set Picker for Bard and Replicator

You can now set preview images for Bard and Replicator Sets which will be shown on hover in the Set picker. You can also switch to a Grid Mode and see all the Sets visually at once (or you know, in a scrollable modal).

Calendar Mode for Collections

The new Calendar Mode for Collections

You can now switch to a Calendar Mode and see all the entries in a calendar view. You can switch between Month and Week mode, drag and drop entries from one day, or hour to another, and create new entries on any given day right from the calendar.

Inertia 2

As of today's Alpha 10 release, the Control Panel is now powered by Inertia 2. This means it's now a single page application (SPA) that feels super fast and app-like. There is much less overhead happening on any given request so it's a lot snappier and you'll have less loading times.

And have no fear β€”Β for backwards compatibilty, any Blade views (from addons or extensions to the CP) still render with a regular page load just like before.

For everything else...

Keep an eye on our GitHub releases and the v6 docs if you want to give it a try and live on the bleeding edge of commits and merged PRs.

Friday next week is going to be a blast! On October 10th, our Partner Agency JustBetter hosts a meetup in Alkmaar outside of Amsterdam. Including the folks from JustBetter, there'll be about 50 people! Pizza (pineapple and non-pineapple), cold drinks, and Statamic swag are just some of the things to enjoy there.

You can still sign up here.

We're working on two more meetups and will share more details soon.

Want to host a Statamic meetup somewhere in the world? Just reply to this email. Happy to help you with anything you need to make it a success!

Statamic 🀝 AI

If you're into AI-assisted coding, you might want to have a look at the MCP Server for Statamic addon that Sylvester Damgaard releases recently.

AI-powered development tools for Statamic CMS. Provides 100+ MCP tools for blueprints, entries, collections, and more.

Works best together with Laravel Boost which got announced at Laracon US in Denver.

It's still in alpha so expect bugs and breaking changes. But so far, it looks pretty rad! πŸ”₯
