Small devlogs for past, current and future projects

It's been a while since the last log, but I haven't been idle. Haven't had as much time as I'd like to work on this project - having a full time job and all that - but much of it is at what I consider to be done™. What I mean by that is that these features are ok for me to use and polish as I encounter rough edges

I've had this idea for a while of creating an smtp proxy service where you just configure your preferred email service (ses,resend,mailgun etc) and then just hit a common api with a provider id and BAM: you got mail!

Well, this is it: Jobtrail is (kind of) done. I ended up rewriting it again to be just a React SPA (single page application) with a Convex backend because I honestly didn't want to bother with deploying a Laravel application and dealing with setting up CI/CD. Plus, I had done some weird stuff with Inertia that I feel would be better left alone, so there's that.

We got feature parity after the rewrite!

So I mentioned in the previous devlog that I would make a detailed architecture post; well that just got a whole lot simpler!

Welcome back! This devlog will probably be just me spitballing about how to implement checkpoints in jobtrail.

So, I'm currently looking for a job; shocking, right? And when looking for a job you usually apply on multiple platforms, which makes keeping track of what you've applied to kind of hard, you know?
