## What it is
Wink is a Laravel package that adds an elegant admin UI for managing a publication with posts, pages, tags, and authors. It is faceless, meaning it stores content in your database while leaving frontend rendering entirely up to your application.

## Use cases
- add a blog to an existing Laravel app
- manage posts, pages, tags, and authors through an admin UI
- write content in markdown or HTML with code blocks and embedded media
- upload featured images to local storage or S3
- search and insert Unsplash photos in posts
- manage SEO and social media metadata for articles

## When to choose
- you have a Laravel application and want a lightweight publishing layer
- you want full control over how content is displayed on the frontend
- you need a separate authentication and database connection for editorial content

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone blog with themes and frontend included
- your project is not built on Laravel
- you need multi-site or headless API-first publishing out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, ui-components, file-upload, markdown
- domain: cms, web-development, self-hosted
- platform: php, self-hosted
- tags: laravel, blogging, publishing-platform, faceless-cms, vue, web-server
