Is this like a better Laragon/Herd version?

[SHJordan]

Asking because Many managed features of Laragon were nice, i moved to Laravel Herd and got hit with all the goodies but can't manage mysql and such w/o paying. Could you make a more throughout review comparing both?

FlyEnv is a much better alternative to Herd and Laragon.

• In FlyEnv, you can easily install and manage multiple programming languages. (Herd supports only PHP, in Laragon you have also multiple).

• You can choose HTTP server. (Herd only offers NGINX, in Laragon Apache and NGINX).

• Multiple databases. (In Herd its a paid feature, Laragon also supports multiple databases).

• Multiple cache systems. (In Herd only Redis and its paid, and in Laragon only Redis and Memcached).

FlyEnv includes essentially everything a web developer needs. Oh and almost forgot, FlyEnv is open-source. And if you need something, there's a good chance it will be added.

Herd is more geared toward Laravel developers. You can use it for other projects, but it’s clearly designed for Laravel, and many features requires a paid plan.

Laragon was great, but it still lacks many features available in FlyEnv and Herd. The last version I used was v6, it’s now at v8, but I haven’t noticed significant new features (I’m on a Mac now, so I haven’t tried the latest version).

Laragon has also become paid, though it’s more affordable compared to Herd.

FlyEnv limits you to 3 projects in the free version. However, you can purchase a license — and here’s the really cool part: you can get a license by donating any amount or by contributing to the project (e.g. code, translations, or promotion).

Thank's for your answer. I still miss that autoadd sites feature on Windows and that we can simply tag a folder that have many other projects in it and Herd will auto discover/add them on dnsmasq. I found it a bit confusing to setup on FlyEnv.

谢谢你的回答。我仍然怀念 Windows 上的自动添加站点功能，我们只需标记一个包含许多其他项目的文件夹，Herd 就会在 dnsmasq 上自动发现并添加它们。我发现在 FlyEnv 上设置起来有点混乱。

This feature can be considered for addition, as it's completely achievable. It's just that no one has requested it before.

In this case I'll spread the word. Is the PT_BR translation finished? how can i help?
