The new Laravel Forge looking nice! The only problem is it's not mobile friendly yet 🤔

Regardless congrats to the team!

Upgrade from nuxt 3 to 4 was easy just had issue with nuxt-content and better-sqlite3 but seems like updating them one package at a time after upgrading to nuxt 4 did the trick

Has anyone done key-pair authentication in laravel?

Instead of the usual email/password I was wanting to see if there is anything out there that uses private/public key pairs to authenticate from a device to the server

Something to implement for IoT devices

I'm getting back into using RSS feeds again and it feels like a nice breath of fresh air. Now I want to learn how to make RSS for my website

Also trying to keep it backward compatible with vue language server v2 having some problems with inlay hints

I think I will note this down in the readme for now and suggest disabling inlay hints on vue file

This is not a problem with v3 though so inlay hints work as expected
Alright got some time to work on my nvim plugins.

Starting with web.nvim I need to update some logic for vue-language-server since v3 was out I didn't know that there was a change from typescript-language-server to vtsls server

Ok so updated my muscle memory to incorporate folds in my dev flow.

Pretty much `zc` to close and `zo` to open the fold.

And `zR` to open all folds, my reset trigger so I can practise `zc` and `zo`.

In my config, I set `vim.opt.foldenable = false` so it will not fold the code by default.
So I've been using vim for about 6 years now and I've never really got into folding code until recently lol

Time to do a crash course on how to use it and how to integrate with treesitter or does it come built in 🤔

Why do apps make it so difficult to log in but when you log out there is no prompt to log out?

Like, can they at least put up a confirm dialog to ask if I want to log out or not, what if I clicked on it by mistake?? Now I have to start all over again 😮‍💨

It's quite scary when your client asks to get access to the source code repo

Have to make sure there are no curse words in there directed at the client 😂

phpstan/larastan has been making me write so much boilerplate code it's not letting me enjoy the new stuff like match and shorthand/anon functions :((

should not have run `composer update`

I'm really liking how easy it is to setup register/login in laravel which also incl social auth via socialite.

Going to start switching OS theme between light and dark based on the time of the day

It's really hard to read in dark mode when the sun is blaring into my room or in the office (aka my coffee shop)
