Notepad-php

Notepad-php is a simple, server-side rendered notepad application built with pure PHP. This project serves as an exercise in foundational web development principles, demonstrating how to build a functional application without relying on modern frameworks for the backend logic.

The application handles user registration, login, and full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality for notes, managing state and rendering directly on the server.

Project Philosophy

In an era of complex frameworks, the goal was to return to the basics. This project was built to reinforce a deep understanding of the HTTP request-response cycle, where every action is a form submission processed by a PHP script, which then re-renders the page with the updated state. A small amount of Vue.js was later added to enhance the UI with minor client-side reactivity without requiring a full page reload.
