Your application, on Laravel or NextPressKit

Two stacks we build on, presented the same way, and a written recommendation for the one that fits your project.

The idea

Two stacks, one honest choice

When a shop or a company site is not enough, we build the application you need on one of two stacks. Laravel with a Filament admin is the one this website, PN Scripts Press and PN Scripts Shop are built on. NextPressKit is our open-source starter with a Go API and a TanStack Start web app. We recommend one after we understand your project and give the reasons in writing; the code is yours either way.

  1. Laravel with Filament: PHP, a full admin panel from the first weeks, and hosting that is easy to find.
  2. NextPressKit: a typed Go API documented in OpenAPI, and a separate React web app.
  3. The choice is written down with its reasons before any work starts.
  4. Both stacks are open source, and the code we write for you is yours.
Describe your project

The two stacks

What we start from

The same facts for both, so you can compare them.

Laravel with Filament

The PHP framework and admin panel this website, PN Scripts Press and PN Scripts Shop are built on.

Fits when The application is mostly records, forms and workflows, and needs a full admin early.

Versions
Laravel 13, Filament 5
Language
PHP 8.4
Database
MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite
License
MIT, open source

Good to know

  • Needs PHP hosting with a cron entry, and a queue worker for background jobs.

NextPressKit

Our open-source starter: a Go and Gin API on PostgreSQL and a TanStack Start and React web app, with login, roles, content and media built in.

Fits when The API is the product, or a web app, mobile apps and partners share one API.

Backend
Go, Gin, PostgreSQL
Web
TanStack Start, React, TypeScript
API
REST, documented in OpenAPI
Login
JWT in HttpOnly cookies or Bearer tokens

Good to know

  • No tagged release yet: it is used from source.
  • The web repository is MIT; the backend repository has no license file yet.

When each fits

Laravel or NextPressKit

Both are good choices. They fit different projects.

Laravel with Filament

Fits when the work is mostly records, forms and workflows: portals, booking and order systems, internal tools and dashboards. Filament gives a full admin panel early, PHP hosting is easy to find, and many developers can maintain it.

  • Laravel 13
  • Filament 5
  • PHP 8.4

NextPressKit

Fits when the API is the product or several clients share it: a web app plus mobile apps or partner integrations, or a team that wants a typed Go service with an OpenAPI contract and a separate React web app.

  • Go
  • PostgreSQL
  • TanStack Start

How it runs

How a custom project runs

  1. Understand first

    We go through what the application must do, who uses it, what it connects to and how it will grow.

  2. Choose the stack in writing

    We recommend Laravel with Filament or NextPressKit, with the reasons, and confirm the scope, price and timeline in writing before any work starts.

  3. Build, then hand over

    We build and test it with you, deploy it to your hosting or cloud, and hand over the code and the documentation.

Stack

What your application can run on

Open technologies on both sides, on hosting or cloud you choose.

  • Laravel 13 PHP applications and APIs
  • Filament 5 Admin panels
  • Livewire 4 Interactive screens without a separate front end
  • Go and Gin The NextPressKit API

Questions

Questions about custom development

What teams ask before we start.

Which stack will you recommend?

The one that fits your project. Laravel with Filament for most business applications with an admin at their heart; NextPressKit when the API is the product or several apps share it. We write the reasons down before work starts.

Is NextPressKit the only option for custom work?

No. Laravel with Filament is the other stack we build on, on equal terms, and it is the one this website runs on.

Who owns the code?

You do. Laravel, Filament and NextPressKit are open source, and the code we write for you is handed over with the project.

What does it cost?

We send a written offer after a short review of what the application must do. Nothing starts before you agree to it.

Can you take over an existing Laravel application?

Yes. Our Laravel and Filament upgrades and care service covers upgrades, fixes and monthly care for existing applications.
