Tweet from Taylor in the last few minutes:
Stick a fork in Spark... #Done. Gotta just finish up documentation now.
Level 47
Then few minutes later tweeted, "Closed Sublime text and decided not to open it". Lol.

@jekinney I took that to mean 'coding is done'.
(at least I hope that's what he meant)

I saw another tweet could be worth some speculation:
https://twitter.com/taylorotwell/status/714552485344452608
i haven't confirmed or denied it's per project... only that it's not subscription
so if it were to be per project, and its github repo / downloadable code - how would that work?
I'm sure he said somewhere else about trusting devs
I suppose time will tell

$99 per launched project.

Casey Lee: "that’s very reasonable. Will there be any sort of license key file or loaders necessary?"
Taylor Otwell: "no. Honor system."
Lol.
"Spark is scheduled to release on April 19th at 10am CDT."

Per launch is great. So you can buy once play around and if mess it up real bad or want to start over for a real project re-download. Fair enough.
Level 12
Any thoughts on the first 2 Spark laracasts?

What colorscheme is Taylor using? ;D

@graham it looks awesome from where I'm sitting. Very very excited and in fact, I'm gob smacked by the level of effort and detail he's gone to. It's amazing.

I'll buy it on release day. For what, I don't know, but just to give him a thank you.
Level 12
Can't wait to get our hands on it. We've been working on a project for 2 months deliberately avoiding users/billing/teams so we can hopefully drop much of the functionality directly into a clean spark build.
Bring it on :)

@graham haha me too. I've just been holding out.
@TaylorOtwell 's biggest problem on Wednesday will be deciding which yacht to buy :)

The first two videos were awesome, and according to Taylor's twitter, he's got a lot more to cover. I'm excited for the next videos, and I'm even more excited to take a look at his code to learn/adopt/pick at the things that he did.
Level 12
And we have documentation:

I didn't need to sleep tonight anyway, thanks Taylor ;-)

Installed :)
Happy Spark day everyone.

@graham everything you hoped it would be? anything extra the laracasts haven't covered? i'll be taking a look this weekend but i'm keen to hear thoughts.
Level 12
@xirkus All I can tell you so far is it appears to install fairly painlessly :-)
It's early Friday evening, the Mrs has a work event tonight and I've just filled the coffee machine with fresh beans. I'll keep you posted :D
