Stations

Stations brings desk setups from several Reddit communities into one feed. Instead of checking each subreddit separately, you can browse battlestations, workspaces, Mac setups, and deliberately rough setups from the same interface.

The problem

The best workspace inspiration is spread across communities with different names and cultures. Reddit makes each one easy to follow, but not easy to compare. Stations treats them as categories in one visual catalog.

What it does

• Aggregates posts from communities including r/battlestations, r/workspaces, and r/macsetups
• Separates feeds by setup type without requiring a new site or search
• Keeps votes and source context visible
• Provides bookmarks for setups worth returning to
• Uses a responsive image-first layout for desktop and mobile browsing

The build

The application runs Laravel and Blade on Vercel’s serverless PHP runtime, with Tailwind CSS for the interface and the Reddit API as its source. Deploying a traditional Laravel application to an on-demand platform required adapting routing and runtime configuration to Vercel rather than moving the product to a different framework.

Result

Stations is both a useful workspace browser and a practical demonstration that a Laravel application can run on serverless infrastructure. The live product stays small while exercising the full path from external API to PHP backend to responsive feed.
