LaraBase is a starter app for speeding up the development of Laravel projects. Most SaaS apps require user authentication, email activation, feedback form, dashboard, user profiles, setting, blog etc. With basic knowledge of Laravel's conventions, LaraBase can be adapted and customized to your needs. The frontend is built with Bootstrap 3.3 and this codebase includes the JeffreyWay/Laravel-4-Generators package as a dev-dependency.
