Reviews

Mr. Levan Dvalishvili Chief (Software Architect) at solarspace.io said Hands down the most developer friendly package that I have worked with.. A+++++

platform we tried out Metronic. I can not overestimate the impact Metronic has had. Its accelerated development 3x and reduced QA issues by 50%. If you add up the reduced need for design time/resources, the increase in dev speed and the reduction in QA, it’s probably saved us $100,000 on this project alone, and I plan to use it for all platforms moving forward. The flexibility of the design has also allowed us to put out a better looking & working platform and reduced my headaches by 90%. Thank you KeenThemes! Jonathan Bartlett, Metronic Customer

Metronic is an incredible template. Even with purchasing an extended license, the cost savings is immeasurable. The code & CSS is well organized and while it is feature rich, it is not bloated. It was quickly integrated into our relatively complex product and had ready-made UX for our many use cases. Where we needed to extend functionality, this system made it incredibly easy. A tremendous job by the Metronic team.  Fatica, Metronic Customer

SysNotes devlog 1

Hiya! We're a web developer by trade and we wanted to build ourselves a web-app to manage our system and to get to know each other better. We thought it would be fun to make a sort of a devlog on this blog to show off the development! The working title of this project is SysNotes (but better ideas are welcome!)

What SysNotes is✅:

A place to store profiles of all of our parts

A tool to figure out who is in front

A way to explore our inner world

A private chat similar to PluralKit

A way to combine info about our system with info about our OCs etc as an all-encompassing "brain-world" management system

A personal and tailor-made tool made for our needs

What SysNotes is not❌:

A fronting tracker (we see no need for it in our system)

A social media where users can interact (but we're open to make it so if people are interested)

A public platform that can be used by others (we don't have much experience actually hosting web-apps, but will consider it if there is enough interest!)

An offline app

So if this sounds interesting to you, you can find the first devlog below the cut (it's a long one!):

(I have used word highlighting and emojis as it helps me read large chunks of text, I hope it's alright with y'all!)

Tech stack & setup (feel free to skip if you don't care!)

The project is set up using:

Database: MySQL 8.4.3

Language: PHP 8.3

Framework: Laravel 10 with Breeze (authentication and user accounts) and Livewire 3 (front end integration)

Styling: Tailwind v4

I tried to set up Laragon to easily run the backend, but I ran into issues so I'm just running "php artisan serve" for now and using Laragon to run the DB. Also I'm compiling styles in real time with "npm run dev". Speaking of the DB, I just migrated the default auth tables for now. I will be making app-related DB tables in the next devlog. The awesome thing about Laravel is its Breeze starter kit, which gives you fully functioning authentication and basic account management out of the box, as well as optional Livewire to integrate server-side processing into HTML in the sexiest way. This means that I could get all the boring stuff out of the way with one terminal command. Win!

Styling and layout (for the UI nerds - you can skip this too!)

I changed the default accent color from purple to orange (personal preference) and used an emoji as a placeholder for the logo. I actually kinda like the emoji AS a logo so I might keep it.

Laravel Breeze came with a basic dashboard page, which I expanded with a few containers for the different sections of the page. I made use of the components that come with Breeze to reuse code for buttons etc throughout the code, and made new components as the need arose. Man, I love clean code 😌

I liked the dotted default Laravel page background, so I added it to the dashboard to create the look of a bullet journal. I like the journal-type visuals for this project as it goes with the theme of a notebook/file. I found the code for it here.

I also added some placeholder menu items for the pages that I would like to have in the app - Profile, (Inner) World, Front Decider, and Chat.

i ran into an issue dynamically building Tailwind classes such as class="bg-{{$activeStatus['color']}}-400" - turns out dynamically-created classes aren't supported, even if they're constructed in the component rather than the blade file. You learn something new every day huh…

Also, coming from Tailwind v3, "ps-*" and "pe-*" were confusing to get used to since my muscle memory is "pl-*" and "pr-*" 😂

Feature 1: Profiles page - proof of concept

This is a page where each alter's profiles will be displayed. You can switch between the profiles by clicking on each person's name. The current profile is highlighted in the list using a pale orange colour.

The logic for the profiles functionality uses a Livewire component called Profiles, which loads profile data and passes it into the blade view to be displayed. It also handles logic such as switching between the profiles and formatting data. Currently, the data is hardcoded into the component using an associative array, but I will be converting it to use the database in the next devlog.

New profile (TBC)

You will be able to create new profiles on the same page (this is yet to be implemented). My vision is that the New Alter form will unfold under the button, and fold back up again once the form has been submitted.

Alter name, pronouns, status

The most interesting component here is the status, which is currently set to a hardcoded list of "active", "dormant", and "unknown". However, I envision this to be a customisable list where I can add new statuses to the list from a settings menu (yet to be implemented).

Alter image

I wanted the folder that contained alter images and other assets to be outside of my Laravel project, in the Pictures folder of my operating system. I wanted to do this so that I can back up the assets folder whenever I back up my Pictures folder lol (not for adding/deleting the files - this all happens through the app to maintain data integrity!). However, I learned that Laravel does not support that and it will not be able to see my files because they are external. I found a workaround by using symbolic links (symlinks) 🔗. Basically, they allow to have one folder of identical contents in more than one place. I ran "mklink /D [external path] [internal path]" to create the symlink between my Pictures folder and Laravel's internal assets folder, so that any files that I add to my Pictures folder automatically copy over to Laravel's folder. I changed a couple lines in filesystems.php to point to the symlinked folder:

And I was also getting a "404 file not found" error - I think the issue was because the port wasn't originally specified. I changed the base app URL to the localhost IP address in .env:

…And after all this messing around, it works!

(My Pictures folder)

(My Laravel storage)

(And here is Alice's photo displayed - dw I DO know Ibuki's actual name)

Alter description and history

The description and history fields support HTML, so I can format these fields however I like, and add custom features like tables and bullet point lists.

This is done by using blade's HTML preservation tags "{!! !!}" as opposed to the plain text tags "{{ }}".

(Here I define Alice's description contents)

(And here I insert them into the template)

Traits, likes, dislikes, front triggers

These are saved as separate lists and rendered as fun badges. These will be used in the Front Decider (anyone has a better name for it?? 🤔) tool to help me identify which alter "I" am as it's a big struggle for us. Front Decider will work similar to FlowCharty.

What next?

There's lots more things I want to do with SysNotes! But I will take it one step at a time - here is the plan for the next devlog:

Setting up database tables for the profile data

Adding the "New Profile" form so I can create alters from within the app

Adding ability to edit each field on the profile

I tried my best to explain my work process in a way that wold somewhat make sense to non-coders - if you have any feedback for the future format of these devlogs, let me know!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disclaimers:

I have not used AI in the making of this app and I do NOT support the Vibe Coding mind virus that is currently on the loose. Programming is a form of art, and I will defend manual coding until the day I die.

Any alter data found in the screenshots is dummy data that does not represent our actual system.

I will not be making the code publicly available until it is a bit more fleshed out, this so far is just a trial for a concept I had bouncing around my head over the weekend.

We are SYSCOURSE NEUTRAL! Please don't start fights under this post

webdev log 2

implemented a gallery. I originally wanted it to be more grid-like but I decided I didn't want to mess too much with that, and I like the simple look anyways. forces you to really take in every shitty drawing.

it features a search function that only works for tags. its purpose is mostly just to search multiple tags, because I couldn't be fucked to add a feature where you could click on multiple tags there at the tags list at the top. it lists out all used tags in the table that stores art so you have an idea of what there all is.

at the bottom there's pagination. it's INSANELY easy to do with this framework I'm using. I was gushing about it to my partner on call!! they made fun of me but that's okay!!!!

anyways, clicking on the date underneath the drawing takes you to a view with the image itself (a kind of "post", if I can call it that) here you can view comments and leave one yourself if you so desire. guests are NOT allowed to reply to existing comments because I'd rather things not get too clogged up. I can't stop anyone if they did an "@{name} {message}" type comment, but I don't think anyone is gonna be chatting it up on my site, so idc. I just want it very minimal, and no nesting beyond one single reply.

of course, you can comment on story chapters too so here's what it looks like for a user (me). of course, if a user (me) posts then it gets automatically approved.

the table that stores comments differentiates story comments and art comments with foreign keys to the primary keys of the the chapter and art tables. it's a little convoluted and I kind of wish I didn't do it this way but it's too damn late isn't it. but honestly it might've been the only way to do it. the problem is just repeating code for both chapter and art views.. making a change to one means I gotta manually make the same change to the other. huge pain..

added user authentication and a really shitty bare bones dashboard for myself to approve/reject comments directly on the site in case someone comes along and wants to be mean to me :( rejecting a comment deletes it OFF my site forever. though I kind of want to be able to keep hate mail so I dunno.. oh, and also a big fat logout button because I have nowhere else to put it.

I'll spare everyone the more technical ramblings.

anyways, I'm hoping to add more things later. these are my plans:

allow users (me) to post stories/art through the site itself instead of doing it manually in the vscode terminal for every. single. story. and drawing. (probably took me 6+ hours total just doing this. I don't know why I did it.) (btw this consists of writing commands to store information via the terminal. also, sql and similar databases don't store things like markup or even line breaks. I had to alter all my stories and put \n every time there was a line break... and you have to escape apostrophes (or quotes, depending on which you use) so every "it's" had to be made into "it\'s" HUGE. PAIN. I didn't do this manually obviously but sifting and plugging my stories into character replacers was so time consuming)

delete comments button.... For my eyes and fingers only

make an About page. I've been avoiding all the fun things and doing just the scary stff

figure out SSH stuff...

clean up the shitty css. I refuse to use tailwind even tho it's trying to force me.. I don't want some sleek polished site I want it look like it's in shambles, because it is

but yeah thanks for reading about my webdev and coding journey. even though using the laravel framework made things a thousand times easier it's still a crazy amount of work. let's say building a site completely from scratch means buying every material and designing the house yourself, and using a website builder like wix is just like buying a pre built home and you're just decorating it. using this framework is like putting together a build-your-own-house kit. you're still building a fucking house.

I feel crazy. it felt like the site was close to breaking several times. been sleep deprived for several days working on this nonstop I think I'm getting a little sick 😵‍💫

going to bed now. it's 9 am.

Prevent HTTP Parameter Pollution in Laravel with Secure Coding

Understanding HTTP Parameter Pollution in Laravel

HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP) is a web security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker manipulates multiple HTTP parameters with the same name to bypass security controls, exploit application logic, or perform malicious actions. Laravel, like many PHP frameworks, processes input parameters in a way that can be exploited if not handled correctly.

In this blog, we’ll explore how HPP works, how it affects Laravel applications, and how to secure your web application with practical examples.

How HTTP Parameter Pollution Works

HPP occurs when an application receives multiple parameters with the same name in an HTTP request. Depending on how the backend processes them, unexpected behavior can occur.

Example of HTTP Request with HPP:

GET /search?category=electronics&category=books HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com

Different frameworks handle duplicate parameters differently:

PHP (Laravel): Takes the last occurrence (category=books) unless explicitly handled as an array.

Express.js (Node.js): Stores multiple values as an array.

ASP.NET: Might take the first occurrence (category=electronics).

If the application isn’t designed to handle duplicate parameters, attackers can manipulate input data, bypass security checks, or exploit business logic flaws.

Impact of HTTP Parameter Pollution on Laravel Apps

HPP vulnerabilities can lead to:

✅ Security Bypasses: Attackers can override security parameters, such as authentication tokens or access controls. ✅ Business Logic Manipulation: Altering shopping cart data, search filters, or API inputs. ✅ WAF Evasion: Some Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) may fail to detect malicious input when parameters are duplicated.

How Laravel Handles HTTP Parameters

Laravel processes query string parameters using the request() helper or Input facade. Consider this example:

use Illuminate\Http\Request; Route::get('/search', function (Request $request) { return $request->input('category'); });

If accessed via:

GET /search?category=electronics&category=books

Laravel would return only the last parameter, category=books, unless explicitly handled as an array.

Exploiting HPP in Laravel (Vulnerable Example)

Imagine a Laravel-based authentication system that verifies user roles via query parameters:

Route::get('/dashboard', function (Request $request) { if ($request->input('role') === 'admin') { return "Welcome, Admin!"; } else { return "Access Denied!"; } });

An attacker could manipulate the request like this:

GET /dashboard?role=user&role=admin

If Laravel processes only the last parameter, the attacker gains admin access.

Mitigating HTTP Parameter Pollution in Laravel

1. Validate Incoming Requests Properly

Laravel provides request validation that can enforce strict input handling:

use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator; Route::get('/dashboard', function (Request $request) { $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'role' => 'required|string|in:user,admin' ]); if ($validator->fails()) { return "Invalid Role!"; } return $request->input('role') === 'admin' ? "Welcome, Admin!" : "Access Denied!"; });

2. Use Laravel’s Input Array Handling

Explicitly retrieve parameters as an array using:

$categories = request()->input('category', []);

Then process them safely:

Route::get('/search', function (Request $request) { $categories = $request->input('category', []); if (is_array($categories)) { return "Selected categories: " . implode(', ', $categories); } return "Invalid input!"; });

3. Encode Query Parameters Properly

Use Laravel’s built-in security functions such as:

e($request->input('category'));

or

htmlspecialchars($request->input('category'), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

4. Use Middleware to Filter Requests

Create middleware to sanitize HTTP parameters:

namespace App\Http\Middleware; use Closure; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class SanitizeInputMiddleware { public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next) { $input = $request->all(); foreach ($input as $key => $value) { if (is_array($value)) { $input[$key] = array_unique($value); } } $request->replace($input); return $next($request); } }

Then, register it in Kernel.php:

protected $middleware = [ \App\Http\Middleware\SanitizeInputMiddleware::class, ];

4 Boring Startup Ideas Screaming to Be Built (and How to Build Them)

Everyone wants to build the next Airbnb, Uber, or OpenAI — but what if the real opportunity lies in the “boring” ideas?

These aren’t flashy or buzzworthy, but that’s the point. They solve real problems, target underserved niches, and often come with less competition and more stable revenue. In fact, many boring startups are quietly making millions behind the scenes.

Here are 4 boring startup ideas that are practically screaming to be built — and how you can start building them right now.

Modern Bookkeeping for Freelancers The Problem:

Freelancers and solo entrepreneurs are terrible at bookkeeping. Most dread tax season and use outdated spreadsheets or overly complex tools like QuickBooks.

The Boring Solution:

Build a dead-simple, freelancer-friendly bookkeeping tool that helps with:

Categorizing income/expenses Quarterly tax estimates Invoicing Receipt uploads via mobile

Think “Notion-level simplicity meets Stripe integration.”

How to Build It:

Tech Stack: React, Firebase, Plaid for bank integration Go-To-Market: Start with creators (designers, writers, coaches) on Twitter/LinkedIn. Offer a free trial, then upsell monthly plans. Revenue Model: Freemium or tiered SaaS pricing (\$10–\$30/month)

✅ Bonus: Add AI-powered transaction categorization to stand out.

Compliance Tracker for Small Businesses The Problem:

Small businesses constantly miss local or industry-specific compliance tasks — business license renewals, data regulations, safety checks, etc.

The Boring Solution:

A simple dashboard that tracks compliance deadlines, sends reminders, and offers document templates based on industry and location.

How to Build It:

Tech Stack: Laravel or Django backend, PostgreSQL, clean web UI Data: Aggregate public regulatory calendars by state/province Go-To-Market: Partner with local business associations or legal consultants Revenue Model: \$20–\$100/month based on company size

✅ Extra Opportunity: White-label it for accountants or legal advisors.

Automated HOA/Condo Management Software The Problem:

Homeowners' associations (HOAs) and small condo boards are run by volunteers using paper checks, email chains, and Google Docs. It’s messy and inefficient.

The Boring Solution:

A turnkey web platform for:

Collecting dues online Managing maintenance requests Document storage (meeting minutes, rules) Resident messaging

How to Build It:

Tech Stack: Bubble or no-code MVP → migrate to React/Node Sales Strategy: Cold outreach to HOA boards and property managers Revenue Model: \$50–\$300/month per community

✅ Note: Once you're in, churn is low — they hate switching tools.

Digital Notice Board for Apartment Buildings The Problem:

Most apartment buildings still rely on physical notice boards for updates, lost keys, and maintenance alerts. Tenants ignore them. Management gets flooded with emails.

The Boring Solution:

Create a digital screen + companion app for building announcements, package alerts, lost & found, local deals, etc.

How to Build It:

Hardware: Use affordable tablets or smart displays Software: Web-based backend for management, mobile app for tenants Sales Strategy: Start with co-living spaces or new developers Revenue Model: Hardware + monthly SaaS fee Bonus Revenue: Sell ad space for local businesses

✅ Scalability Angle: Bundle it into smart building management platforms.

Final Thoughts

"Boring" doesn't mean bad — it means unsexy but necessary. These are the types of businesses that solve unglamorous but persistent problems. And that’s where the gold is.

If you’re a builder tired of chasing the next hype cycle, consider starting with a boring startup. It might just be the most exciting decision you make.

webdev log 3

this log is longer since I'm writing it as I work, since I forget a lot once I've put down the keyboard for the night (day? I'm always up until morning)

okay, so...

I've implemented user (me)-only add story, edit story, and add chapter, and edit chapter functions

creating a story. I have some "preset" tags. clicking on them adds them to the input, and it'll get converted into arrays to be placed into the database. they're sort of placed there manually since I'm too lazy to make it so that it sifts through tags and posts them there but I'd rather not since some tags are only used once. for the series presets being manually placed there.. well, I have no excuse. I'm just lazy. I'll just kms when I have to add another, ig.

anyways once a new story is made, there's no chapter added so the link to it doesn't work. I have to go in and add a chapter. I will not update this because I don't care and it doesn't trouble me enough to make it a feature so you can upload it all in one go.

from there I get to see this shitty barebones chapter creator.

START TANGENT feel free to skip

laravel Eloquent stores the text as-is so I won't need to use my shitty markdown -> html converter that I have on my secret utilities site that I always had to use for when posting my stories onto my neocities.

that's what it looked like, lol. I had to make this because of the way I write and I want it to display in a particular way which I'll get into in a sec. the reason why I didn't want to use some shitty markdown -> html converter on some other website is because a single linebreak gets converted to <br> while <p> only gets sandwiched between paragraphs with double line breaks.

I don't like that since I wanted text indents for every <p> but text-indent doesn't apply to the next line within a <p> if you use <br>... they only apply to the start of each <p>. a workaround for this is to use text-indent: {size} each-line; but each-line isn't supported in all browsers, including chrome of all things. So I had to write up a program for my own converter which wraps *every* line into a <p> and applies a <br> if there's another newline after that.

but for my new site, there's a function that detects what browser the user is using and will add the text-indent styling only if using supported browsers. so chrome users will just be indent-less! sorry! (you should switch to firefox anyways)

END TANGENT okay, enough about my neocities..

What it looks like for a user (me)... guests won't be able to see the edit link.

When editing, there's an option to delete the chapter. if it is the first chapter of a story, then it will delete the whole story. it's currently the only way to delete a story, mostly as a safeguard for myself since I don't trust myself. if I have to delete a story with a ton chapters in the future... well.. then fuck me.

over on the side, I also went back and added a delete comment function too. accidentally had it earlier where if I tried to delete a reply it deleted the parent comment too. oops.

delete buttons (as well as the buttons that accept/reject comments on the user dashboard) had no confirmation so.. phew. now they do! I've accidentally deleted a whole years worth of art before on my computer, so I need this. very badly.

decided to move the warning into a confirmation alert once they hit submit. allows guests to see the warning in a less clunky manner, and also lets them know for sure that their comment is going to get sent! before the page would just refresh without any confirmation.. so this would be less confusing. two in one!

anyways, the next big feature I gotta implement is creating, editing, and deleting art. then I'll be done with all backend related things and I can finally start on the ~fun~ pages like my about. and other things.

unless I decide to make a guestbook. which I probably will end up doing..

I'll probably be keeping my neocities just for memory's sake and also to host my twine games and silly coding projects but I'll probably be removing my dreams page since I kind of don't want people seeing those anymore lest some tiktok-addicted teenager tries to kill me. better huff them all now if you want to peer into my sick twisted mind (jk I'm an angel)

How to Prevent Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards in Laravel

Introduction

When developing a Laravel application, security should be a top priority. One of the most common vulnerabilities that can put your users at risk is unvalidated redirects and forwards. These vulnerabilities occur when a user is redirected or forwarded to an untrusted URL without proper validation, which can be exploited by attackers to conduct phishing, session fixation, or other malicious activities.

In this blog post, we'll discuss how to identify and prevent unvalidated redirects and forwards in your Laravel applications, including practical coding examples and tips to enhance the security of your website.

What Are Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards?

An unvalidated redirect occurs when a user is sent to a URL that isn't properly checked for trustworthiness. For example, an attacker may trick a user into clicking a link that redirects them to a malicious site.

Similarly, unvalidated forwards happen when the application forwards a user to another resource without proper validation. Attackers can exploit this to bypass security checks or perform unauthorized actions.

Why Are They Dangerous?

Both unvalidated redirects and forwards can be exploited by attackers for various malicious purposes, including:

Phishing attacks: Redirecting users to fake websites to steal their personal information.

Session hijacking: Redirecting users to a page that steals their session data.

Malicious data exposure: Forwards to unauthorized resources.

How to Prevent Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards in Laravel

1. Use Laravel's Built-in Validation for Redirects

One of the simplest ways to avoid these vulnerabilities is to validate URLs before redirecting users. Laravel has a built-in url() method to ensure that the redirect URL is valid and within the allowed domain.

Here’s how you can implement a secure redirect:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect; public function redirectToInternalPage($path) { $validPaths = ['/home', '/dashboard', '/profile']; // Allowed paths if (in_array($path, $validPaths)) { return Redirect::to($path); } else { return abort(403, 'Unauthorized redirect.'); } }

This approach ensures that users can only be redirected to predefined paths within your application.

2. Validate External Redirects

If your application needs to redirect users to external URLs, ensure that the redirect destination is trusted. A basic way to achieve this is by checking if the destination URL belongs to a trusted domain:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect; use Illuminate\Support\Str; public function redirectToExternalSite($url) { $trustedDomains = ['trustedsite.com', 'anothertrusted.com']; $host = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST); if (in_array($host, $trustedDomains)) { return Redirect::to($url); } else { return abort(403, 'Untrusted redirect destination.'); } }

This will prevent users from being redirected to malicious websites, as the app only allows URLs from trusted domains.

3. Implement URL Whitelisting

Another preventive measure is to implement URL whitelisting. This approach limits the URLs that users can be redirected to, ensuring that they are only sent to trusted destinations.

public function validateRedirect($url) { $whitelistedUrls = ['https://example.com', 'https://secure.com']; if (in_array($url, $whitelistedUrls)) { return Redirect::to($url); } else { return redirect('/home')->with('error', 'Invalid redirect attempt.'); } }

4. Use Redirect::secure() for HTTPS Redirects

To avoid redirection to unsecure HTTP links, always use secure redirects. You can ensure that the user is redirected to a secure HTTPS URL by using Redirect::secure():

return Redirect::secure('/dashboard');

This method forces the redirect to be on an HTTPS connection, enhancing the security of your application.

Preventing Vulnerabilities with Tools

It’s essential to regularly assess your website’s security. For that, you can use our Free Website Security Scanner tool to identify vulnerabilities like unvalidated redirects and forwards.

Visit our tool to get started. Below is a screenshot of the tool's homepage for your reference.

Additionally, after running a scan, you will receive a detailed vulnerability assessment report to check Website Vulnerability, helping you pinpoint areas that need attention.

Conclusion

Unvalidated redirects and forwards are serious security vulnerabilities that can jeopardize your Laravel application. By following the methods outlined in this post, you can secure your application and protect your users from phishing, session fixation, and other malicious activities.

Remember to keep your Laravel application up to date and utilize our free tool for Website Security tests to conduct regular assessments and stay ahead of potential threats.
