+
+* string (varchar): ~255 chars default.

+
+ You can leave this blank if records do not have a title.

+
+   INFO  Filament resource [App\Filament\Resources\Entries\EntryResource] created successfully.  
+```
+
+There is more work to do on this model but  for now, a new resource is added to the admin panel by which records can be added, edited, listed.
+
+Full CRUD is already possible. This is amazing if you think how long this would have taken to create all this manually.
+
+
+
+### slugify
+
+```php
+                    TextInput::make('title')
+                        ->required()
+                        ->reactive()
+                        ->afterStateUpdated(function ($state, $set): void {
+                            $set('slug', Str::slug((string) $state));
+                        }),
+                    TextInput::make('slug')
+                        ->required(),
+```
+
+adding reactive and afterStateUpdted to title automatically creates a safe slug 
+
+I class things like this creature comforts of the framework and it shows how simple it can be to make fields active and updated by previous entries
+
+For the user, this reduces error and confusion over what a url should be 
+
+### rich editor
+
+just changing the TextInput for content 
+
+```php
+                RichEditor::make('content')
+                    ->columnSpanFull(),
+```
+
+to `RichEditr` gives us a 'tiptap' rich text editor
+
+already, this is feeling more like a mini CMS, with relatively little effort
