I currently have an Invoker licence but if you can get the Eloquent Database Browser working and relatively bug-free I'll almost definitely use this instead. Invoker is great but is too buggy for me to bother with at the moment.
Came here to say the same, I just tried it and agreed, really good. I bought Invoker and had to revoke the license, buggy, slow and you can't do basic stuff like resize the sidebars, this was before it was sold and I noticed the same after as well. As for Tinkerwell, docker support is shoddy at best, really good projects but the developer(s) seems to want to spin up a new one every week instead of polishing what they have. Autocomplete from my project directory will be a + as well but so far so good. Only complaint is the license, I would prefer the one year of updates model.
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.
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.

This is really cool - good work!

Hey, Marcel here :)

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