The Joy Of Frameworks
I've got a stack of ideas that I'd like to build out to actual apps, and have decided that if the app can't be built around one core component, then the idea gets put back into the pot for another time. Why?

I've got one app written which is currently for my own use, which will help me build out a series of reports in the coming months, which are part of an audience-building experiment I'm doing.

That app is based around https://filamentphp.com/ which I use to manage some data in the database.

The app has a paginated table of data, and a form for editing each item. But what filament also allows you to do is add columns to the table view, for editing the data, like this:

I didn't have that column, but added it just now. It took about 4 minutes to do, most of which was deploying the app from development to production.

Then I wanted to be able to automatically filter that table for active vs pending entries. Another 4 minutes and I had this filter at the top of the table:

When you find the right framework, you can do so much, so quickly.
