🐻 What is Pawsome Mary?

Developing with Laravel should feel like a walk in the woods—refreshing, powerful, and natural. Pawsome Mary is a curated starter kit designed by BearnyCodes to bridge the gap between raw functionality and high-end developer experience.

By combining the strength of Laravel with the elegance of MaryUI and the cutting-edge speed of Tailwind CSS 4, this kit provides a "bear-bones" foundation that isn't empty, but expertly structured.

Why you'll love it:

• Pawsome DX: Pre-configured layouts that stay out of your way.
• Grizzly Performance: Optimized for the latest PHP 8.3+ and Livewire versions.
• Modern Styling: Harnessing the full power of Tailwind 4's CSS-first engine.
• Bearny-Standard: Opinionated where it matters, flexible where you need it.
