I’m building a truly self-contained photo editor that runs on a Laravel back-end with a React + Inertia front-end. No external image-processing or camera APIs may be used—the whole pipeline has to live inside the codebase. Core editing tools • Crop and resize with free-form or fixed-ratio selection • A small collection of filters and effects (e.g., grayscale, sepia, blur) applied client-side in real time • Manual adjustment sliders for brightness and contrast Camera capture layer The web app must open both front and rear cameras, let the user toggle flash, and support smooth pinch- or button-based zoom before snapping the shot. Captured images flow straight into the editor without a round-trip to third-party services. Interface & tech notes I’m after a modern, sleek UI that feels native inside React while leveraging Inertia for seamless navigation and state. TailwindCSS or a comparable utility framework is fine if you prefer. All image processing should rely on well-tested open-source libraries that can be bundled locally (e.g., sharp on the server, or pure JS/WebGL filters on the client). No calls to external SaaS or CDN endpoints. Deliverables 1. Full Laravel project with React components wired through Inertia 2. Source-controlled image manipulation modules matching the features above 3. Read-me with setup, build, and deployment instructions for a typical LEMP stack 4. Brief usage guide that shows the capture → edit → save flow working end-to-end I’ll spin up the repo as soon as we agree on the approach and timeline.
