Laravel Roadmap: Beginner Level Challenge

This is a task for the Beginner Level of the Laravel Roadmap, with the goal to implement as many of its topics as possible.

This repository is intentionally empty, with only a Readme file. Your task if to submit a Pull Request with your version of implementing the task, and your PR may be reviewed by someone on our team, or other volunteers.

The Task: Simple Personal Blog

You need to create a personal blog with just three pages:

• Homepage: List of articles
• Article page
• Some static text page like "About me"

Also, there should be a Login mechanism (but no Register) for the author to write articles:

• Manage (meaning, create/update/delete) categories
• Manage tags
• Manage articles
• For Auth Starter Kit, use Laravel Breeze (Tailwind) or Laravel UI (Bootstrap) - that starter kit will have some design, which is enough: the design is irrelevant for accomplishing the task

DB Structure:

• Article has title (required), full text (required) and image to upload (optional)
• Article may have only one category, but may have multiple tags
