TV Show Alert is an open-source project that allows users to stay informed about new episodes of their favorite TV series. Users can receive notifications via email or check their personalized timeline on the website to see their subscribed shows and upcoming episodes.
The project is developed using Laravel, Livewire 3, and Tailwind CSS, offering a smooth, AJAX-driven user experience. It leverages Laravel Scout for fast searching and utilizes the Laravel Data package for Data Transfer Objects (DTOs). The codebase is fully tested with PHPUnit, and GitHub Actions ensures automatic testing after each push to GitHub.
