Code by Scott Zirkel

I primarily use Laravel, a PHP framework. I'm currently enhancing that with the following hotness:

• Livewire/Alpine
• Tailwind CSS
• FilamentPHP
• InertiaJS/[Vue, React]

99% of my code is private client work, but I try to save some of my non-client work on GitHub. You can also see me trying new things at CodePen.

Apps

Open-source tools I built for myself, then shared.

routa [github]A Linux local-development server for PHP, static, and proxied dev-server projects under .test domains with local HTTPS. Like Valet or Herd, but for Linux – built on Caddy and systemd user services instead of a long-lived daemon.

roost [github]An agent command center for the terminal. A GTK4 workspace built on real Ghostty terminals that puts your coding agent, lazygit, shell, and a wired scratchpad in one window – with per-project layouts and git-worktree switching in a single keystroke.
