Let’s go!! 😎

Yesterday night, I started a React Native + Expo experiment 👀 Even if you know typescript and React, it's a completely different world, in comparison to web development 🤯 And yes, AI can write all the code for you. But is that the right approach? 🤔 I had one big learning: If you start with a new framework, tool, programming language, etc... learn it properly by hand, before you outsource everything to AI. ☝️ AI makes us fast, if we know how things work and can decide quickly if a change can be committed or not. Shipping back boxes is not what we should aim for.

And it tastes good 😉

Absolutely! 😎

Locking in for a Sunday afternoon session! ☕️ Let’s go!

And that's obviously Laravel 🙌

It's so easy to ship a web app 🙌 🔹 You build the app with a framework of your choice 🔹 You buy a domain 🔹 You deploy it where ever you prefer to Instead, shipping a mobile app seems to be a pain 🤯 It might be a skill issue, because I'm coming from years of experience in web development 😅 But the overall process to get an app into the app stores seems way more complex...

That's the way to go! ☕️

Laravel is great! Already use it for some web projects, but never for an API.

Laravel Cloud is the way to go! By the way, not only for Laravel apps 😎

Absolutely! Sunday mornings is the best time of the week 🙌

Sunday mornings is the best time of the week 🙌 It's quite outside, everyone is still sleeping. I'm the only one awake, enjoying a freshly brewed coffee ☕️

So you'd build your own API?

Ohh, never heard of it! 😅 it's a backend-as-a-service right? Why did you choose Convex over other popular solutions?

This sounds very interesting, thanks for sharing! 👀 by the way, do you build any app right now?

App Developers, I need your help! 👋 If you are building an app, do you usually go for a backend-as-a-service, e.g. Supabase or Firebase? Or do you build your own API separately? What would you recommend?

It's great that you can host all kind of apps on Laravel Cloud now! But the naming is actually quite bad. I know where they are coming from, so it absolutely makes sense. But everyone who is not familiar with the Laravel ecosystem thinks it's only for Laravel apps. I'm curious if they already considered a rebranding 🤔 I honestly see a huge chance for Laravel Cloud to become a popular choice for Cloud hosting in general.

Ohh, that's also a great idea! I'm sure you could get sponsors that way.

I think every second household has these mugs 😂
