Hi there!

 

Thanks for your interest in Zephpyr. I'm super thrilled to be able to share that the very first invites to the platform will be going out next week!

 

Want to be one of the lucky ones with early access? Read on to find out how...

What does Zephpyr do?

Right now, Zephpyr is focused on creating a secure bundle of your Laravel application that ships inside your production NativePHP desktop applications.

 

Zephpyr Bundles are a single file that wraps your entire Laravel app into a compressed, read-only archive that the NativePHP environment knows how to use.

 

When you've got a Zephpyr account, you'll be able to connect your NativePHP apps to it and start building secure bundles right away.

 

This Bundle replaces the raw PHP code that would normally ship inside your app with a secure and speedy package.

 

While Bundles aren't meant to protect your source code, they do offer a level of obfuscation.

 

Most importantly though, they prevent potential attackers from modifying the PHP source of your app and changing its behavior.

 

This is an important step in safeguarding your users.

 

Zephpyr Bundles also speed up your app and reduce its overall size. We've seen some Laravel apps reduced by up to 80%!

How do I get access?

Zephpyr is in the final phases of testing and I need input from folks who are building NativePHP desktop apps and distributing them to users.

 

In a few weeks, Zephpyr will be set up to handle subscription payments, but until then, to join during this pre-launch, you need to:

  1. 🎗️ Sponsor me at the $10/month level or above
  2. 👾 Join the NativePHP Discord
  3. 💬 DM me on Discord with the GitHub username you sponsored with

I'll then set you up with access and send instructions on how to use the service.

Coming soon...

I have big plans for Zephpyr. Right now it's focused on building Bundles, but in the future I plan to offer:

  • A full app building and distribution pipeline for your NativePHP desktop apps.
  • Tools to help you prepare your NativePHP for mobile apps for distribution too.
  • A place to build secure custom PHP binaries for all your NativePHP apps.

I'm so excited to finally start giving you access to Zephpyr and more importantly seeing what awesome apps it enables you to build!

 

Please don't be afraid to hit reply and share you hopes and dreams with me. I can't promise I can fulfill them all, but I'll damn well try!
