As the sun sets outside, John sits in his dimly lit room, eyes glued to his computer screen. He's recording his latest tutorial, his voice laced with excitement as he explains the intricacies of coding. His computer desk is cluttered with books, papers, and empty coffee cups. John's hands dance over his keyboard, his eyes flicking back and forth between his notes and the screen. The camera lens captures the glow of the computer screen on his face, as well as the occasional flicker of frustration. --ar 3:2 --seed 3249781 --v 5.1 Strapi Series, Part 10: Links Data and Requests The first collection and another single type An illustration of a boxer being punched in the face by another boxer, with the boxing ring in the background, in the style of an oil painting, viewed from an overhead perspective --v 5 --ar 3:2 Strapi Series, Part 9: Thinking In Data Learning valuable lessons from initial creation attempts abstract shapes and colors, with letters, postpunk 80s retro --v 5 --ar 3:2 Strapi Series, Part 8: Font Sizes and Colors Identifying patterns and planning for implementation an epic battle between a white wolf and a black wolf, with glorious lighting in the style of Ignasi Monreal artwork --v 5 --ar 3:2 Strapi Series, Part 7: Light and Dark Mode Setting up dark mode with a curveball An illustration of a mysterious book of spells with a glowing, arcane symbol on the cover, surrounded by flickering candles and an ominous mist, in the style of dark fantasy art, photorealistic, viewed from a top-down perspective --v 5 --ar 3:2 Strapi Series, Part 6: Coming Soon QA Adding TypeScript and Storybook to verify and see data An illustration of a monstrous creature with multiple tentacles reaching out to grab dozens of email icons, which are scattered throughout a chaotic, cluttered background.
