Half asleep, with my brain not completely switched off, thoughts of all the new cool things announced at Laracon US last week swirled round in my head.

But being a busy startup developer/founder, finding time to play with these new toys is always a challenge. Even though I know that some of these new advances will only help me build better products.

So I thought, why not do the learning on top of what I already know! Which is why this weekend I'm going to re-build a small part of my own product with the latest and greatest from Laravel.

I'll be building a video summariser and chatbot for all of the Laracon videos.

I only have a weekend. Let's see where this thing goes!

As always, I'll be building in public. If you want to follow along, follow me on Twitter for the play-by-play, or just read the summary and results in my newsletter.
