Updates
I am in the process of migrating the database to Firebase, and front-end to Google’s Material Components and JavaScript. Laravel framework is used for the backend.
Goodreads recently deprecated its Developer API without warning. I took this as an opportunity to update an old project of mine from 2017 with new Material theme, and Google Books API instead.#PHP #Laravel #100DaysOfCode pic.twitter.com/5FzsZAsX8O
