Check out the awesome conversation with Matt Stauffer and some fun, new features in the CraftQuest platform!
Matt Stauffer on Craft + Laravel
Craft 6 is moving to Laravel, so I had Matt Stauffer on the livestream a couple weeks back to talk about the Laravel community. Our two developer communities have mostly operated in parallel but we share a foundation. So what does the Laravel community actually look like? What should Craft developers learn first? And how are Laravel developers using AI in their daily work?
You can now click on an author's name anywhere on CraftQuest (course, lesson, livestream) to see everythig they've created on the site. It's a simple way to find more content from the people you learn from most.
Know someone who should be teaching on CraftQuest? We're always looking for experienced developers who want to share what they know. Reply this to email if you are interested or want to recommend someone.
New: Socratic Mode in In-Video Chat
The in-video chat premium member feature just got a lot more interesting. You can now switch it into Socratic mode, which means instead of just handing you the answer, it asks you questions to help you work it out yourself!
This can be frustrating at first but it is the CraftQuest philosophy in software form: teach how to think, not just execute. When you're stuck on a concept in a lesson, getting walked toward the answer beats getting handed it. You'll actually remember it next time.
Try it on your next lesson using the toggle in the chat panel.
New: MCP Server Access to Full CraftQuest Catalog
This one is for the AI tool users (which, based on our community survey, is most of you).
All premium members will soon have MCP server access to the entire CraftQuest catalog. That means you can deep search across all of the content (video transcripts, articles, livestreams, more!) right from your favorite AI tool. This isn't some basic keyword search; it's deep search powered by a vector database, and available right in your favorite AI tool, like Claude Code.
This feature is in beta and rolling out slowly across all premium accounts, so check your Profile for access, create your own API key, and hook up Claude Code!
