laravel-notification-channels/sms-broadcast

Name lookalikedanger

The package borrows the identity of the much more established laravel/slack-notification-channel, while it is not described as a fork. Although artifact overlap is 0, the naming creates a serious risk that consumers may select the wrong package.

Release historycaution

The package has only 5 releases and none in the last 12 months; its latest release was January 18, 2024. That is a substantial maintenance gap for a dependency assessed in September 2026.

Repo commit activitycaution

The repository recorded 0 commits and 0 active maintainers in the last 3 months, consistent with the long registry release gap. The repository is not archived, but recent inactivity still raises abandonment risk.

Repo popularitycaution

The linked repository has only 2 stars and 2 forks, indicating a very small user and contributor base. Low popularity is supporting evidence rather than a verdict, but it provides little resilience if maintenance stops.

Security policycaution

The repository has no security policy or documented security contact. This is a transparency gap, although the small package scope limits how much weight it carries.
