Totally agree about the Beyond Code devs! IMO they're spreading their development effort too thinly, and are trying to support too many apps for the number of developers in the company.

Tinkerwell was amazing when it was first released, but the price has increased, and now there are other free options which are nearly as good. I've let my licence lapse and use Laravel Tinker for PHPstorm instead.

Don't get me wrong - Marcel (lead dev for Beyond Code) is an excellent developer, and their apps are great. They'd be even better if they spent a bit (or a lot) more time fixing bugs though.

Hey, Marcel here :)

Yup, I have to agree with what you said. Especially last year, we focused on a lot of new tools, which then lead to more bugs on the existing apps. Meanwhile we have grown our team and just released a new version of Tinkerwell (2.13) that fixes a ton of those small things and adds a lot of new features. Same with HELO, and Invoker will come next.

So yeah, it's all on our roadmap :)
