Laravel Livewire Notes

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I'm proud that I learned Laravel Livewire for this project, and even though it took a lot longer than expected, it is finished and I was able to successfully build the note taking application. Normally I would have used a front end framework like React, but Livewire does the job too, and I'm happy with how it turned out. Next time I'd probably start with mobile-first and ironing out the design system a little better.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Some challenges were

• Unfamiliarity with the Laravel stack, I asked the AI lots of questions and had to refer to the documentation a lot
• Getting acquainted with Amazon SES
• Laravel Forge Deployment
• The sometimes subtle interplay between Alpine.js and Livewire

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I got the solution as close to the design design specs as I could, feel free to check for bugs too. One thing I'm unhappy about is my free-tier fly.io project boots up in 30 seconds - 1 minute so I apoligize for any 502 errors.
