We just redesigned mdbin.app with the help of github.com/draftila/draftila - a free Figma-like alternative, and its looking fresh! Share your Markdown files with a link!
We've released Yerd v2.0.2-rc.12 today, one step closer to the full v2.0.2 release in the next couple of days! Various bug fixes, but also some new features, such as the ability to group your sites, and toggle HTTP/HTTPS from the site card.
Amazing milestone. Realtime updates + loads of new & improved features makes managing your servers and sites with VitoDeploy even simpler, faster and more efficient than ever before!

Migrated from Herd and DBngin on macOS and it's been smooth so far, no issues at all. Feels fast and packs in plenty of features. Thanks for building such a great alternative.
🐱 The cat's out the bag - a release candidate of Yerd v2 is here!
We're after testers on macOS & Linux to help shake out any issues before our planned release on 8th July. 🚀
If you run PHP locally, come kick the tyres 👇
yerd.app
ALT Yerd - Local PHP, without the friction. Serve your projects on .test domains over HTTP and HTTPS, run a different PHP version per site, and manage it from one tiny daemon. No Docker, no sudo for everyday work, no subscription.
So what is Yerd?
It's a fast, rootless, open-source local PHP dev environment for macOS & Linux - think Laravel Herd, but free.
Drop a project in a parked folder and it's instantly live on a .test domain with automatic HTTPS. Run a different PHP version per site, plus MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres & Redis as native processes, built-in mail catching, and live Laravel dumps - all from one ~8 MB Rust daemon. No Docker, no sudo, no subscription. 🐘
Big things brewing with YERD v2 🔥
✓ No sudo required
✓ API for future GUI
✓ Better extension support
✓ Improved resilience
We're building the developer experience you've been asking for. Who's excited? 👀
🚀 Introducing YERD - Transform your PHP development workflow!
✅ Run multiple PHP versions without conflicts
✅ Built-in nginx with automatic trusted HTTPS
✅ 30+ extensions with smart dependencies
Stop wrestling with PHP versions. Start shipping.

I'm going to wear this like a badge of honor from now on... the most toxic person in gaming of our generation, went out of his way to block me!
