Jobtrail EP 5: The end of the Trail (For Now)

Well, this is it: Jobtrail is (kind of) done. I ended up rewriting it again to be just a React SPA (single page application) with a Convex backend because I honestly didn't want to bother with deploying a Laravel application and dealing with setting up CI/CD. Plus, I had done some weird stuff with Inertia that I feel would be better left alone, so there's that.

Jobtrail EP 1: The art of yak shaving

So, I'm currently looking for a job; shocking, right? And when looking for a job you usually apply on multiple platforms, which makes keeping track of what you've applied to kind of hard, you know?
