About Laravel Blog

Laravel Blog is a project for learning the Laravel framework based on Jeffrey Way's web application from the Laracasts series, Laravel From Scratch. I have developed this application in parallel to this series.

New features

At the end of the series, I decided to push the project further by implementing new features that were useful and made sense for this project. Here are the major new features :

• Scheduled Posts
• Draft Post
• Customizable Profile (avatar & personal info)
• WYSIWYG HTML editor for the post's content
• Administration features (users & categories management)
• Multiple queued notifications & events
• Bookmarks system
• Some security system (password recovery & email verification)

Further Ideas

• Messages & timezones user's localization
• Allow registered users to "follow" certain authors. When they publish a new post, an email should be delivered to all followers.
• Ban system
• Mobile friendly

Warning

I am aware that the development is not perfect and still has some bugs that may hinder the user's functional experience. That's why the contribution is useful for me because for now, i paused the development of this project.
