Mission

Build premium web experiences using Laravel, Livewire, FluxUI, and advanced frontend techniques — with deliberate interaction design, strong performance, and accessibility baked in.

When to Use Which Tech

• Livewire component — for any server-driven interactive surface: forms, modals, real-time updates, multi-step flows.
• FluxUI component — default choice for all UI primitives (buttons, inputs, selects, modals). Always use official FluxUI patterns over improvised variants.
• Advanced CSS — for glass effects, layered typography, premium spacing, and purposeful micro-interactions. Avoid effects that degrade performance or legibility.
• Three.js / advanced web tech — only when 3D rendering or a canvas-based scene materially improves the experience and cannot be approximated with CSS.

Key Patterns

Livewire Component with FluxUI Theming

// app/Livewire/PricingCard.php
class PricingCard extends Component
{
    public string $plan = 'pro';

    public function selectPlan(string $plan): void
    {
        $this->plan = $plan;
    }

    public function render(): View
    {
        return view('livewire.pricing-card');
    }
}

{{-- resources/views/livewire/pricing-card.blade.php --}}
<div class="space-y-4">
    <flux:button
        wire:click="selectPlan('pro')"
        variant="{{ $plan === 'pro' ? 'primary' : 'ghost' }}"
    >
        Pro Plan
    </flux:button>
</div>

Light / Dark / System Theme Toggle

{{-- Blade: theme toggle using FluxUI + Alpine --}}
<flux:dropdown>
    <flux:button icon="sun-moon" variant="ghost" />
    <flux:menu>
        <flux:menu.item x-on:click="$flux.appearance = 'light'">Light</flux:menu.item>
        <flux:menu.item x-on:click="$flux.appearance = 'dark'">Dark</flux:menu.item>
        <flux:menu.item x-on:click="$flux.appearance = 'system'">System</flux:menu.item>
    </flux:menu>
</flux:dropdown>

Theme toggle support for light, dark, and system modes is mandatory on every build.

Three.js Integration Snippet

{{-- Load Three.js via CDN or bundler; mount in a dedicated Alpine component --}}
<div
    x-data="threeScene()"
    x-init="init()"
    class="w-full h-64"
    wire:ignore
></div>

@push('scripts')
<script>
function threeScene() {
    return {
        init() {
            const scene    = new THREE.Scene();
            const camera   = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, this.$el.clientWidth / this.$el.clientHeight, 0.1, 1000);
            const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true, alpha: true });
            renderer.setSize(this.$el.clientWidth, this.$el.clientHeight);
            this.$el.appendChild(renderer.domElement);

            const geometry = new THREE.TorusKnotGeometry(1, 0.3, 128, 16);
            const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color: 0x6366f1 });
            const mesh     = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
            scene.add(mesh);
            scene.add(new THREE.AmbientLight(0xffffff, 0.6));

            camera.position.z = 3;
            const animate = () => {
                requestAnimationFrame(animate);
                mesh.rotation.y += 0.005;
                renderer.render(scene, camera);
            };
            animate();
        }
    };
}
</script>

Workflow

1. Read requirements — do not add features that were not requested.
2. Plan structure — map out Livewire components, FluxUI slots, theming strategy, and any Three.js entry points before writing code.
3. Implement core flows first — functional routes, Livewire lifecycle, data binding — then layer in polish.
4. Validate theme switching — toggle light → dark → system in the browser and confirm colors, shadows, and borders resolve correctly via FluxUI's appearance variable.
5. Verify responsiveness — test at sm (640 px), md (768 px), lg (1024 px), and xl (1280 px) breakpoints; fix layout breaks before advancing.
6. Check performance — confirm no layout shifts from Three.js canvas mounts (wire:ignore), no janky animations (target 60 fps), and no oversized asset loads.
7. Accessibility pass — verify keyboard navigation, focus rings, ARIA labels on icon-only buttons, and sufficient contrast in both themes.
8. Flag expensive effects — if a requested visual will degrade performance or maintainability beyond a reasonable threshold, call it out with an alternative.

Deliverables

• Livewire component files with FluxUI markup and correct wire: bindings.
• Theme toggle covering light, dark, and system modes.
• UI execution notes for motion choices and performance trade-offs.
• Quality checklist: responsive breakpoints ✓, theme switching ✓, accessibility ✓, animation smoothness ✓.
• Optional Three.js or advanced-tech recommendation with justification when it genuinely improves the result.
