Collaborating With Sandiva Skincare
We’ve been working with Sandiva Skincare on a focused Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) initiative. While their brand was successfully driving high traffic, our goal was to ensure that interest translated effectively into revenue.
Through a data-driven audit, we identified key opportunities to enhance the mobile user experience. By refining the store’s layout and streamlining the path to purchase, we were able to remove friction for customers and significantly improve conversion rates. It has been a rewarding experience helping them turn ad spend into sustainable sales.
Gymie v3 Progress
At the start of the year, we made a deliberate decision to refocus on our FOSS initiatives, and Gymie has been one of the most exciting outcomes of that effort. What began as a private project is now being rebuilt fully in the open on GitHub, reflecting our commitment to transparency, collaboration, and long-term sustainability.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working on multiple fronts in parallel. While rebuilding the majority of the web application from the ground up, we also began developing a dedicated mobile app for administrators. The progress has been encouraging: the web app has reached a solid, feature-complete stage, and the mobile app has matured significantly, laying a strong foundation for real-world usage.
Looking ahead, our focus is on stability and polish. In the next quarter, we aim to release stable versions of both the web and mobile apps, alongside a hosted SaaS offering that makes it easy to get started quickly. This direction is strongly informed by the interest and requirements we’ve consistently received from the community over the years.
We’ll also be publishing a detailed blog post soon, covering the journey from v1 to v3 and sharing behind-the-scenes insights into the rebuild. Stay tuned—there’s more to come.
Laravel Decomposer FilamentPHP Support
Laravel Decomposer was originally built as an internal tool to help us quickly inspect dependencies and application insights for Gymie. When we decided to open-source it, we honestly didn’t expect it to gain traction beyond our own use case. What happened next surprised us in the best way possible.
Developers from the community started finding real value in Decomposer, using it across their own Laravel projects. That adoption and feedback became a strong motivator for us to actively maintain, refine, and improve the tool rather than letting it remain a one-off utility.
As a team, we build many applications powered by FilamentPHP, and with Gymie now being rebuilt using FilamentPHP as well, it felt like a natural evolution to bring Laravel Decomposer closer to that ecosystem. We’re now working on improved compatibility and enhancements that allow Laravel Decomposer to blend seamlessly with Filament, while continuing to support vanilla Laravel applications.
BlaBlaBlocks Consolidated Updates & Improvements
This month, we focused on polishing the overall experience across BlaBlaBlocks. A handful of fixes, some stability improvements, and some quiet groundwork for features coming soon.
Tabs Block
We shipped several important fixes to make the Tabs block more reliable, especially inside the Site Editor.
We’re also exploring some UX hints to help creators understand “what’s next” when building tab layouts more on that soon.
Slider Block
The Slider block received a quality-of-life update with support for decimal values in slides-per-view perfect for more fluid and responsive layouts.
We’ll continue improving customization options while keeping things simple and intuitive.
Rich Text Formats
Behind the scenes, we’ve been laying the foundation for new format types including a Number Counter format we’re excited to roll out next month.
This will unlock more engaging content possibilities without relying on heavy plugins or scripts stay tuned!
Versions, Testing & Milestones 🎉
All three BlaBlaBlocks blocks are now updated to version 1.1.2 and fully tested up to WordPress 6.9, ensuring everything runs reliably across the latest editor experience.
We also crossed a great milestone this month both the Tabs block and Slider block are now installed on more than 100 active sites. It’s a small but meaningful signal that creators are finding real value in them. Formats isn’t far behind, and we’re continuing to build on it with new features coming next month.
