Hey andre, thanks for that great video. I want to ask, is NativePHP can scan and read all file in local directory client?

[alimosbah]

There is something missing in the documentation of nativePHP, a mechanism or a way to build an application after completing its design

[RakibulIslam-rjyw]

Andre, very good explanation, thanks. I will appreciate another video regarding how to package and publish this app to distribute to end users.

Andre, nice! Thanks to you I learned TailwindCSS which I love. I migrated from PHP to NodeJs/TS and never looked backand it was the best decision in my life. Do you plan to do any NodeJS maybe with the AdonisJS framework which is Laravel for NodeJs world? Keep it UP! :D
