## What it is
A Laravel-based boilerplate application designed to jumpstart hackathon and MVP web projects. It ships with pre-built authentication (local plus OAuth via Facebook, Google, GitHub, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram), account management, contact forms, and API examples.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a hackathon project quickly
- add social login to a Laravel app
- learn Laravel by example
- start an MVP web application
- get OAuth 2.0 authentication working fast
- scaffold a web app with account management and contact forms

## When to choose
- you're building a Laravel web app at a hackathon or rapid MVP
- you want working social/OAuth login out of the box
- you want a reference codebase for learning Laravel patterns

## When to avoid
- you need a modern Laravel version (it targets Laravel 5.2)
- you're building a non-PHP or API-only project
- you need a production-grade, actively maintained starter

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, web-framework, templating, email
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, apis
- platform: php, cross-platform
