Five Months of Building an Open Source PHP Dev Tool: What Grew, What Failed, and What Surprised Me

I saw a post about Lerd a few months back. I'd previously been using Valet Linux as my Linux dev environment, and it got the job done I guess, but was always a little sketchy to install correctly, and it did not play very nicely with selinux on fedora. Switched to Lerd when I saw the post and haven't looked back. Much easier install, the dashboard UI and functionality is great, just an all around better, more full featured package.

My only real issue with it is that I can't get the phpfmt formatter extension in vscode to work right, it complains about stdio not being found or something every time it tries to run the format. Intellephense works but it doesn't provide some of the formatting options that phpfmt does, so I don't like it quite as much.
