This feature has been on my mind since the beginning & I've feared it being a major PITA to integrate later into the project. I think we were done within an hr!
My 1st Laravel project using polymorphic relationships & I am LOVING them! I noticed a HUGE speed boost the first ones I implemented!

Whenever you see hateful posts on social media, please remember that about 50% of internet activity is now AI/bots, so it's likely that it isn't even a real person. Don't fall for the crap that's trying to divide us, just ignore (block) and move on.

Been on a social media redux since summer.
But, I need to get back into it!
I'm getting very close to releasing my project (to others) & then I'll be forced to talk about it if I want more customers!
Current MRR: $24.95
I've been paying for dogfooding since I started charging my own cc in June!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

If there's 1 thing I've learned, it's NOT to let the bot loose in my project w/o babysit/questioning it the whole time!
Any time I have, it's taken me weeks to get my project back from the depths of the hell it's introduced into my codebase!

Finally finalizing the Windows setup of the laptop I bought over 2 years ago. This hasn't been my daily OS since I left the corporate IT world of Microsoft in 2010!
Fumbling to find stuff on this OS but at least I finally started my Electronics Technician Program today!

Got a free Lenovo tablet w/points a while ago.
I don't think I've ever used this tablet and YouTube not crashed on me at least once!
From what I can tell, it crashes during transitions to/from ads in case anyone can fix this POS tech!
Old tablet NEVER crashed! Today, I can't get YT to open again!

Very, very excited for this component. Already started converting some of my useForm stuff over and it feels ril good
In Inertia 2.1, we introduced a brand new <Form> component! It looks just like a classic HTML form, but under the hood, it's powered by Inertia.js 🔥
Here's how it looks in Vue ⬇️
