Hello, my name is Ayyoub Bhihi, and I'm passionate about web development. Recently, I launched ToolList.ai, a tool management application, over a weekend using Laravel, Tailwind CSS, and Livewire. Hereβs my journey:
π‘ From Idea to Execution
Inspiration: Struggling to organize my favorite tools, I decided to create a simple and effective solution for myself and other professionals.
π¨ Branding: I named the application ToolList.ai and used Canva to design a professional logo.
π οΈ Development Tools
Backend with Laravel: Laravel allowed for smooth and efficient data management.
Frontend with Tailwind CSS: Tailwind CSS helped me design a clear and intuitive user interface.
Dynamic Components with Livewire: Livewire enabled the creation of interactive components without leaving the Laravel environment, enhancing the application's responsiveness.
Email Integration: I used Mailtrap for managing emails via API, ensuring smooth communication with users.
Monetization with Stripe: Stripe simplified the management of subscriptions and financial transactions.
Emoji System: I also integrated an emoji system to make the user experience more interactive and engaging.
π The Process
Friday Evening: Motivated by urgency and a clear idea, I decided to build [ToolList.ai ](https://toollist.ai/)using code to maximize customization and efficiency.
Saturday: I worked intensively on backend development with Laravel and Livewire integration, laying the solid foundation for the application.
Sunday: I finalized the frontend with Tailwind CSS, integrated Mailtrap for emails, set up monetization with Stripe, and added the emoji system to enrich user interaction.
β±οΈ Time Management
Total Time: I worked nearly 12 hours per day to complete this project, demonstrating that determination and good organization can bring an idea to life in record time.
ToolList.ai is now live at toollist.ai. I eagerly await your feedback and would love to hear about your rapid development experiences!
