I built lerd as a local PHP development environment and thought the WordPress community might find it useful, especially developers on Linux where tools like Local, XAMPP, and MAMP don't run.

It detects WordPress projects automatically and gives you automatic .test domains, per-project PHP version isolation, one-command HTTPS, MySQL, phpMyAdmin with one click, and Mailpit for email testing. Everything runs as rootless Podman containers so nothing touches your system PHP and no sudo is required after install.

The web UI lets you manage everything visually including switching PHP versions per project, toggling services, and watching live logs. You can also install it as a PWA.

macOS is also supported for developers who prefer a Podman-native setup without Docker Desktop.

Would love feedback from WordPress developers, especially around plugin development workflows.

I've always had a distaste for writing `FormType` classes, so much so that I just stopped using them. But then I had to deal with raw HTML forms, and I hated that even more, so I decided to automate the boring part.

FormsBundle generates Symfony forms directly from DTOs: property types, nullability, and validator constraints already encode everything a `FormType` needs, the bundle just reads them, builds the form type class, and caches it.

Feedback welcome!

If you don't need a full-blown e-commerce store but just need to handle orders and generate invoices (PDF, proforma, etc.) in your Symfony app, I've created a bundle to simplify this: https://github.com/DavidPetrasek/OrderInvoiceBundle

----------------------------------------------

I am aware Sylius provides standalone Components & Bundles like https://github.com/Sylius/SyliusOrderBundle

... but they're outdated and can't find them in their new docs. Sylius also doesn't seem to support invoice types: regular, proforma, advance and final
