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

API Vulnerabilities in Symfony: Common Risks & Fixes

Symfony is one of the most robust PHP frameworks used by enterprises and developers to build scalable and secure web applications. However, like any powerful framework, it’s not immune to security issues—especially when it comes to APIs. In this blog, we’ll explore common API vulnerabilities in Symfony, show real coding examples, and explain how to secure them effectively.

We'll also demonstrate how our Free Website Security Scanner helps identify these vulnerabilities before attackers do.

🚨 Common API Vulnerabilities in Symfony

Let’s dive into the key API vulnerabilities developers often overlook:

1. Improper Input Validation

Failure to sanitize input can lead to injection attacks.

❌ Vulnerable Code:

// src/Controller/ApiController.php public function getUser(Request $request) { $id = $request->query->get('id'); $user = $this->getDoctrine() ->getRepository(User::class) ->find("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $id"); return new JsonResponse($user); }

✅ Secure Code with Param Binding:

public function getUser(Request $request) { $id = (int)$request->query->get('id'); $user = $this->getDoctrine() ->getRepository(User::class) ->find($id); return new JsonResponse($user); }

Always validate and sanitize user input, especially IDs and query parameters.

2. Broken Authentication

APIs that don’t properly verify tokens or allow session hijacking are easy targets.

❌ Insecure Token Check:

if ($request->headers->get('Authorization') !== 'Bearer SECRET123') { throw new AccessDeniedHttpException('Unauthorized'); }

✅ Use Symfony’s Built-in Security:

# config/packages/security.yaml firewalls: api: pattern: ^/api/ stateless: true jwt: ~

Implement token validation using LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle to avoid manual and error-prone token checking.

3. Overexposed Data in JSON Responses

Sometimes API responses contain too much information, leading to data leakage.

❌ Unfiltered Response:

return $this->json($user); // Might include password hash or sensitive metadata

✅ Use Serialization Groups:

// src/Entity/User.php use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Groups; class User { /** * @Groups("public") */ private $email; /** * @Groups("internal") */ private $password; } // In controller return $this->json($user, 200, [], ['groups' => 'public']);

Serialization groups help you filter sensitive fields based on context.

Back-End Development: A Complete Guide for Beginners in 2025

When you visit a website, everything you see—the layout, colors, text, and buttons—is the front end. But what happens when you log in, fill out a form, or make a payment? That’s where the back-end development magic begins.

In this complete guide, we’ll explore what back-end development is, why it’s crucial for the web, what technologies and skills you need, and how you can build a thriving career in this dynamic field. Whether you're a curious beginner or someone switching careers, this article has everything you need to know.

🚀 What is Back-End Development?

Back-end development refers to the server-side part of web development. It's everything that happens behind the scenes to make a website or app function properly—like servers, databases, application logic, and APIs.

Back-end development is all about how a website works rather than how it looks.

For example:

When you submit a login form, the back end checks your credentials in the database.

When you place an order online, the back end processes the order and stores the transaction.

⚙️ How Does Back-End Development Work?

The back end interacts with three key components:

Server – The machine that handles requests.

Database – Where data like user info and product listings are stored.

Application – The logic that ties it all together.

Here’s a simplified flow:

User clicks a button (front-end)

Front-end sends a request to the server

Back-end processes the request

Data is fetched from or saved to the database

Server sends a response back to the front-end

🧰 Core Technologies in Back-End Development

To become a back-end developer, you’ll need to learn these foundational tools and languages:

1. Programming Languages

🧱 APIs and RESTful Architecture

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are bridges between the front end and back end.

Back-end developers often design:

REST APIs using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)

GraphQL APIs for flexible data querying

WebSockets for real-time communication

🔗 Database Management and ORM

Databases are the heart of any application.

Back-end developers use SQL for structured queries and ORMs (Object Relational Mappers) like:

Sequelize (Node.js)

Prisma

SQLAlchemy (Python)

Eloquent (Laravel)

This actually possible by breaking down an application into independent, reusable modules. In contrast to a monolithic approach, where all components are tightly coupled, modular architectural design structures the application into separate, self-contained units. In such case, you can modularize the account verification, product management, and payment processing.

This separation allows web developers to work on individual modules without disrupting the entire system, making updates, debugging, and feature additions more manageable. Just like by following Laravel’s modular principles using Service Providers, Repositories, and Packages, teams can develop cleaner, more structured codebases that are easier to scale and maintain.

Support Parallel Development and Flexibility

Modular architecture enables software development teams to build, test, and deploy individual features independently. If one module requires changes or optimizations, it can be modified without affecting the rest of the application, reducing downtime and improving development speed. So, the modular architecture is particularly beneficial for large-scale applications like an office furniture online system, where different teams may handle inventory, customer management, and order processing as separate modules. Try implementing modularization with Laravel, you'll achieve a robust, high-performing, and future-proof web application that efficiently adapts to growing demands.

How to Prevent NoSQL Injection in Laravel Apps: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

In modern web development, NoSQL databases like MongoDB offer flexibility and scalability. However, they also introduce unique security challenges, one of the most critical being NoSQL injection attacks.

This article explores how these attacks can affect Laravel applications and provides practical coding examples to help prevent them.

What Is NoSQL Injection?

NoSQL injection is a type of attack where an attacker manipulates queries sent to a NoSQL database to access or modify unauthorized data. Unlike traditional SQL injection, NoSQL injection exploits the query language and structure of NoSQL databases.

How NoSQL Injection Affects Laravel Applications

Laravel is a popular PHP framework that supports multiple database types, including NoSQL databases like MongoDB through extensions. Unfortunately, if developers use unsanitized user input in their queries, it opens the door for potential injection attacks.

Example Scenario: Vulnerable Login Function

Consider a Laravel application using MongoDB to authenticate users. A typical login function might look like this:

public function login(Request $request) { $user = User::where('email', $request->email) ->where('password', $request->password) ->first(); if ($user) { // User authenticated } else { // Authentication failed } }

In this example, if $request->email or $request->password contains malicious input, the query can be manipulated, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass authentication.

Preventing NoSQL Injection in Laravel

1. Input Validation and Sanitization

To prevent NoSQL injection, always validate and sanitize user inputs to ensure they follow the expected format. Laravel provides built-in validation methods to handle this effectively.

$validated = $request->validate([ 'email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required|string|min:8', ]);

2. Use Parameterized Queries

Avoid embedding user inputs directly into queries. Instead, use parameterized queries or Laravel's query builder, which automatically handles input sanitization.

$user = User::where('email', $validated['email']) ->where('password', $validated['password']) ->first();

3. Implement Secure Authentication

Rather than comparing plain-text passwords, use Laravel's built-in authentication features that hash passwords securely and offer robust authentication mechanisms.

if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $validated['email'], 'password' => $validated['password']])) { // User authenticated } else { // Authentication failed }

Visual Demonstration

Here are two helpful images to showcase the security features and effectiveness of testing tools:

1. Screenshot of the Free Website Security Scanner Tool

Screenshot of the free tools webpage where you can access security assessment tools.

2. Screenshot of a Website Vulnerability Assessment Report

An Example of a vulnerability assessment report generated with our free tool, providing insights into possible vulnerabilities.

Conclusion

NoSQL injection attacks can pose significant threats to web applications, including those built with Laravel. However, by following best practices such as input validation, using parameterized queries, and leveraging Laravel's authentication features, you can significantly reduce the risk of these attacks.

Regularly testing your website with tools like ours to check website vulnerability can further enhance your application's security posture.

How to deploying Laravel projects on a live server – Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Learn How to deploying Laravel projects on a live server with this comprehensive guide. Step-by-step instructions on setting up hosting, configuring files, and deploying your Laravel app smoothly.Read Laravel Docs

How to deploying Laravel projects on a live server, you’ll need to follow a structured process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Purchase Domain and Hosting

Make sure you have a domain and a hosting plan. Most shared hosting plans (like cPanel-based ones) or a VPS will work for Laravel, but ensure your server supports PHP and MySQL and meets Laravel’s requirements (PHP version, required extensions, etc.).

2. Prepare Your Laravel Project

Make sure your Laravel project is working locally.

Run the following command to clear any cached configuration and to optimize the project:

php artisan cache:clear

php artisan config:clear

php artisan route:clear

php artisan view:clear

Set up your environment variables (.env file). Make sure they are correctly configured for the live server (e.g., database, mail, and app URL settings).

3. Zip and Upload Your Laravel Project

Compress your entire Laravel project folder (without the node_modules and vendor directories) into a .zip file.

Use FTP (with FileZilla or any other FTP client) or File Manager in cPanel to upload the .zip file to your server. Typically, upload the file to the public_html or a subdirectory within it if you want to run your Laravel app in a subdirectory.

4. Extract the Files

Once uploaded, use File Manager in your hosting control panel to extract the .zip file.

5. Set Up the Public Directory

By default, Laravel’s entry point is the public folder, which contains the index.php file. On a shared hosting server:

Move everything in the public folder (including the .htaccess and index.php files) to the root directory (usually public_html).

Edit the index.php file to update the paths:

Change:

require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

To:

require __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/bootstrap/app.php';

This ensures that Laravel can find the necessary files in the correct directory.

6. Set File Permissions

Ensure that the following directories are writable by the server:

/storage

/bootstrap/cache

Use the following command via SSH (if available) or through the hosting file manager:chmod -R 775 storage chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache

7. Set Up a Database

Create a MySQL database and a user with privileges in cPanel (or via SSH if using VPS).

Update the .env file with your database credentials:

DB_HOST=localhost DB_DATABASE=your_database_name DB_USERNAME=your_database_username DB_PASSWORD=your_database_password

8. Install Composer Dependencies

If you have SSH access:

SSH into your server using a terminal or a tool like PuTTY.

Navigate to your project directory

cd /path/to/your/project

Run Composer to install the dependencies:

composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev

If you don’t have SSH access, you can run composer install locally, zip the vendor folder, and upload it to the server.

9. Run Migrations

If you have SSH access, run the following command to migrate the database:

php artisan migrate --force

If you don’t have SSH access, you can run the migrations locally and then export/import the database to the server via phpMyAdmin.

10. Set App Key

Generate a new application key if you haven’t already:php artisan key:generate

Ensure the key is set in the .env file:

When working with the Laravel framework, there is no longer a requirement to devote a significant amount of time, whether it be hours or weeks, to writing a single line of code. Because of this, it is cost-effective and it expedites the dissemination of applications.

Third-Party Integration

Integration with a service provided by a third party is an essential component for virtually all websites. Depending on the circumstances, this could be a payment mechanism comparable to Google Pay or Paytm, or it could be a marketing tool that is essential for your business. The essential integration APIs that Laravel provides make it possible to easily integrate third-party applications, regardless of the procedures that are involved. As a result of this, it is an excellent choice for the process of developing a website if your website requires an integrated advertising solution or a payment platform.

Keep Technical Vulnerabilities at Far

The process of developing a website is inextricably linked to "security vulnerabilities." As per a survey conducted by the OWASP Foundation, the most serious vulnerabilities related to online application security are cross-site request forgery, SQL injection, cross-site programming, and similar ones. The time and money needed to fix these vulnerabilities increase significantly as the software development process progresses. Additionally, Laravel can protect your web application from the worst security outcomes. Consequently, it keeps viruses and other security flaws out of the web application, making it incredibly safe. This indicates that your PHP web application, powered by Laravel, is completely safe.

The cost

The Laravel framework is an open-source framework, in contrast to other frameworks that are currently available. Because of this, you are free to use it in whatever project you want, and there is no expense associated with doing so. If you are not very knowledgeable about coding, you may likely incur expenses when you hire a skilled Laravel developer to construct your website. Laravel is able to decrease development costs even further because the amount of time required to construct and maintain it is shorter than that required by certain competing frameworks. This makes it possible for a Laravel project to be more cost-effective in the long run.

Adaptibility

Using the best Laravel framework, you are able to develop a business-to-business (B2B) website that is uncomplicated yet polished, as well as an online store. It comes with a large number of libraries that are already installed, which enables you to construct and administer a wide variety of complex websites.

 Mechanism for Authentication Contained Within

Laravel's user authentication system, which features a plug-and-play approach, is an excellent feature. Access to the website is made more convenient for users as a result of this provision of access. Laravel comes with an authentication package that is built in, which enables users to restrict who can access protected resources. In addition to providing a simple solution for mail integration, Laravel also has the capability to construct mail servers. Laravel allows sending alerts using a variety of channels and incorporates cloud-based mail services such as Amazon Simple Mail Service (SES) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), amongst many others.

Conclusion-

When it comes to the reasons why Laravel is the best framework for web development, it is easy to understand why. It makes the process of designing websites that are compelling even more efficient and effective. The Laravel framework will fulfil all of your requirements, regardless of whether you are a fledgling business or an established corporation. It is a top choice for developers who are trying to build online applications that are strong, efficient, and secure because of its elegant syntax, vast feature set, and lively community.
