NativePHP

A PHP library that lets developers build cross-platform native desktop and mobile applications using PHP and the Laravel ecosystem, bringing the simplicity of web development tooling to native app creation. The project emerged as a side project to fill a clear gap for the massive Laravel community that wanted to ship applications beyond the browser. It gained rapid traction through open-source community engagement and word-of-mouth adoption among PHP developers. Monetized entirely through GitHub Sponsors, the project grew from zero to $100,000 in revenue within its first three months.
