## What it is
A Laravel 4 starter application providing a basic blog with Bootstrap 3 front-end and an admin back-end. It bundles community packages like Confide and Entrust for authentication, authorization, and user/role management.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a new laravel 4 blog project
- starter site with user login and registration
- admin panel for managing blog posts and comments
- learn laravel 4 with a sample application
- role-based user management in laravel

## When to choose
- starting a legacy Laravel 4 project that needs auth and a blog out of the box
- learning how Confide and Entrust integrate with Laravel 4

## When to avoid
- starting a new project on modern Laravel versions
- production use without security review, as it targets PHP 5.4 and is unmaintained

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: auth, authorization, web-framework, templating, ui-components
- domain: web-development, cms, developer-tools
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: laravel, bootstrap, starter-site, blog, boilerplate, web-server
