When your side project spawns another side project…

Introducing Beacon Metrics, a package Laravel app metrics. Handles aggregate values, compare to previous period, and trends using a simple fluent API.

Still needs more tests before release, feedback appreciated!

New feature incoming for Bag: Support for Laravel Debugbar!

If you want to try it out for yourself, I'd love some feedback! To install, run:

composer require dshafik/bag:dev-laravel-debugbar

I still need to write tests, and then I'll push this out with Bag 2.4!
