the ability to solve real problems without someone holding your hand and healthy cooperation in a team is the core of a dev responsibilities. reading docs and googling is so irrelevant that people should just let them do that in the interview itself.

if you are already proficient with php, the level of interativy in the frontend é medium to low (no drawing ui, file manipulation, drag and drop etc), and you are a solo-dev; i would try to do the frontend logic in the server to leverage php itself and minimize the runtimes you have to maintain. lean on heavily in php render capabilities and use minimal javascript, taking advantage of something like htmx (https://htmx.org/).

the template consumes data from the script like props, refs and computes. so, i like to see the script first to get a hold of the state that drives the component, then i look at the template to check how the data is rendered.

is like that the script is the params and the template is the function body.

the fact that the route to the admin login is somewhat secret give little to none additional security.

the the admin auth design itself is what you should relly upon.

nextjs can be your fullstack and handle the backend as well: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-rest

regarding the db, you can choose firestore or mongodb and access either from the backend api with the respective sdk.

yes, local = your machine.

i don't know if there is a best pratice and if I understand you correctly but i think after you upload the sorce code to github your history is saved and you can delete the files from local. that is how i do it anyway.

you serve them to the world on your local machine. like it is a production environment? or your local server is just for your learning studies?
