Kaagaz: I built a private life-admin companion for my parents

·8 views

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend My parents are actually pretty good at keeping important documents. Electricity bills, warranties, receipts, notices, insurance papers — they usually have them somewhere. The problem isn't losing the documents.

RoomTidy: a local Gemma reminder built for my roommate

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend.

Fixing 413 request entity to large on laravel + nginx

After deploying my Laravel application to an Ubuntu VPS using Nginx, I encountered this error when uploading a PDF: 413 Request Entity Too Large The application was running normally, but every upload request failed instantly.
