Product Nerd — SaaS Product Management Platform Project Goals: Product Nerd is a Laravel-based SaaS platform for product management and competitor monitoring. It tracks competitors' blog posts via CSS selectors, manages customer data, handles bug/feature reporting, and provides an inbox system — all with role-based access control (Spatie permissions), Livewire UI, and Paddle payments. My Contributions:
New feature: Built the Competitor Radar system — a scheduled command that scrapes competitor blogs for new posts using configurable CSS selectors, indexes them, and sends email/Slack notifications when fresh content is detected (CompetitorRadarCommand, FetchCompetitorBlogPosts job, event-driven notification flow)
Bug fixes: Resolved favicon rendering, toast styling for long messages, DOM diffing issues, selected inputs tab state, and fixed integration tests after code refactoring
Test suites: Wrote comprehensive Pest PHP test suites across 15+ feature tests covering Bugs, Features, Structure, Inbox, Customers, ManageComponents, Competitor Radar, User Management, Authentication, Email Verification, and multiple integration tests (API, Email, External/Internal Portal) Impact: Transformed the project from having minimal test coverage to a fully tested codebase with structured test patterns, ensuring reliability for the competitor monitoring feature and preventing regressions across core modules.
