Testing out Laravel Cloud

I decided to try out Laravel Cloud and setup this site on the service.

Well, that was easy. I added the GitHub repo and voila:

https://nikolajhavedk-master-4loewz.laravel.cloud

However, at first the stylesheets did not work. Turned out that the Tailwind CSS file was not updated.

npm run build is already in the build commands, but I have to manually run it after every deploy. Which seems odd.

Besides that, it seems solid.

Anyway, the price (20$ per month + usage) for a custom domain is a bit more than I am willing to use on a site like this.

UPDATE – all is good 😅

I asked a friend (yeah, ChatGPT) and he suggested that my tailwind.config.js file was not properly configured.

I was like: "Idiot AI, of course it is!"

... then ... oops 😬👀
