Previously we were compiling js with laravel-mix which is based on webpack however we have upgraded to vite which requires node 18+.\\n\\nCurrently re-learning solidity to re-launch the littercoin ecosystem on Ethereum.\\n\\nHave fixed some bugs, revisiting the logs again, identifying bottlenecks, and doing some mobile app works before re-launching littercoin again in the future.\",\"title\":\"Upgrade Laravel 8-11, php 7.2-8.2 & node 14-18\",\"type\":\"project-update\"}"}}]
