Learn By Doing

Supporting code for my YouTube series where we build and deploy a fictional handyman business website — James's Handyman Services — across different cloud platforms and episodes.

Each episode introduces a new concept (static hosting, CDN, auth, APIs, etc.) using the same app as a running example, so you can follow along from the beginning or jump straight to the topic you care about.

Quick Start

# Run the web app locally
make dev

# Build static files for deployment
make build

The built output lands in apps/handyman-web/dist/ and can be uploaded to any static host.
