A straightforward blog page written in PHP/Laravel.
The website was built with PHP, MySQL, and Laravel. It allows you to go through every post that is on the main page. You can add comments. You have complete control while logged in as an administrator, including the ability to create, edit, and delete posts, users, and comments, as well as manage roles. There are two positions available: administrator and writer. Default permissions for Writer are: adding or editing owned posts; deleting comments in your posts. Furthermore, you can save posts, continue writing later, and then publish them. Also, you are able to send emails to users after updating their accounts.
Furthermore, the website is fully responsive.
I tried to add the best protection I could to this website. I'm referring to prohibitions against deleting other people's posts besides the "Admin" account, deleting roles owned by others or the "Admin" role, deleting yourself, and even editing another person's account.
