Fun fact, while deep diving how Claude Code works, I realised some files were stored with a .jsonl format! What’s this, a typo?? 😀 Of course not…. It's a text format where each LINE is a valid JSON object. So why this and not just a JSON array?! Reg...

This apply the dependencies transformations needed, and add the PostCSS config file needed. npm remove @tailwindcss/vite npm remove tailwindcss npm install tailwindcss@3 @tailwindcss/forms npm install postcss autoprefixer cat > postcss.config.js ...

Warning: I just deprecated it. Claude Code is fantastic, it does the same job I wanted to achieve with this. It’s a CLI instead of an UI, but it does 10x or 100x more than the current application situation. Get it here: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/...

I know, Livewire and Tailwind are the base for Filament, and this tutorial is not any hidden gem, but my gut feeling tells me I should write it. It shows few steps of the docs, but many don't get there, and don't even know this is possible. Filament ...

You're reading this, so you want the Login page ready to go in local environments, without having to type in a default user (configured in your seeder). Let's go. Let's create a Filament Page. Press <enter> for an empty answer, when asked if the page...

I have a dream: everyone in the world has the option to make a living through computer programming, from anywhere, anytime.
I could tell you my story, but I will leave that for a future post! Pinky swear! ☝️ Also, let's just pretend that is a pinky!
TLDR; I will show you a way to create a full solution, on building a web application, with a smile on your face, using tools that allow you to be very fast, from idea, to live launch, and to support the whole application life!
This being around:
Ok, to the blog post!
As it seems, I'm not the only one that had a ZX Spectrum as the first computer and wrote the first program in a calculator (OMG! I don't want to do the math, how many years have passed!!). These were exactly the models I had. Thanks, mom and dad!!
Having a massive passion for creating stuff in general (better if complex problems) and technology, it seems to me so logical that the taste for developing applications in a rapid way was always a constant in my journey. The tricky part is that they generally throw a wall at us when we want to have the full power of customization. Because yes, we all know in real life, beyond "Blog" and "To-do" apps, things get really tricky, really fast.
The thing that really clicked for me is Laravel Nova. It's an "Administration Panel" for Laravel apps, co-authored by the creator of Laravel.
Just look at how cool it looks:

Despite being amazing at what it promises to do, it's not an application builder by default, so it has its downsides, like just anything in life. Pros and cons. Always.
But, but(!), this is the solution where I found the most productive experience while keeping the lowest friction in several key points:
I will expand on these, and grow a list of advantages I find that are way above any other option I've tried.
Ok, so we can have ourselves an application real quick, because there's a way. But this is not enough, we have to deploy it somewhere, somehow, don't we?!
Right, and in 2022 there are way too many options, which might come as daunting! Relax, sit tight, because I'm not here to discuss what is the better one!
What I can tell you is that adopting or using Docker is one of the best things you can do! I'll expand on that too, later.
But rest assured, if you do, you are so much ready to:
I have to stop here. There are so many advantages in learning this tool, that I will have to expand later, and yes, expect content on that, for sure!
Thank you for reading, and please, don't be shy, let me know your thoughts, feedback, anything!!
Happy coding!
