I've been building a little personal finance @laravel.com app to replace a complex finance spreadsheet that I have.
I've also been exploring @nativephp.bsky.social recently, so now I am building the little personal finance app desktop version.
Mobile app next?

A few years ago we were strong advocates of Vue with Laravel, when Livewire arrived we exclusively used Livewire
We have just built 2 test apps in inertia with Vue and react, not to replace Livewire, but to have other tools in the locker
Its good to know which tools work best for your projects
