Pdfslider
Pdfslider is a custom Laravel-based web application that allows writers, bloggers, and businesses to submit guest posts for publication across high-authority niche sites. As the site owner, I developed this platform to streamline the often messy guest posting process by creating a structured, transparent, and scalable system for content contribution and approval.
Key Features:
-
Rich Post Editor: Integrated CKEditor for formatting and media uploads, with word count and SEO-friendly input fields (meta title, slug, tags).
-
Post Approval Workflow: Custom dashboard for admins and editors to review, approve, request revisions, or reject guest post submissions.
-
Paid Post Submissions: Stripe integration allows users to pay for premium placements or featured articles before submission.
-
Role-Based Access: Laravel Permissions for Authors, Editors, Admins with tailored dashboards and access controls.
-
Author Dashboard: Writers can track the status of their submissions, see analytics on published posts, and manage billing/invoices.
-
Category & Tag Filtering: Front-end blog with advanced search, filtering, and category tagging for readers.
-
Email Automation: Laravel Notifications used to inform users of submission status, publication, or editorial feedback.
My Role:
I conceptualized, designed, and developed the entire application, including:
-
Database schema and post model logic
-
Real-time submission handling with Livewire components
-
Admin panel for content moderation and post scheduling
-
SEO setup with dynamic meta tags, sitemap generation, and clean URLs
