Announcing: Station

I am not sure where else to announce this... builtwithlaravel.com's submitter form is broken. (Please let me know if you are aware of a general package forum of sorts).

Anyways, I just released the documentation for Station ( http://station.readthedocs.org/ ).

Station helps Laravel developers to auto-generate, configure, and deploy an admin interface with advanced scaffolding, migrations and models for their Laravel software. It includes an artisan build command and a simple but extensible UI.

If you are tired of creating CRUD-capable interfaces from scratch, Station may be perfect for you. In a few minutes you can have a simple, but advanced back-end admin installed and ready for use by you, your customers, and your customers’ users.

Station shines when used as a CMS however it is not your typical template-based CMS system. It does not include front-end templates or layouts. Instead it is intended to be used as a database, content, and user management system. It takes away the heavy-lifting involved in creating a back-end for your web site or application. But, it leaves the front-end a blank canvas for your creativity!

Hoping you will check it out!

Hi phirschybar,

I've installed Station and given it a very brief test drive. It installed nicely for me, without any glitches. Nice work, and thanks for contributing it :)

I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind:

  • Is Amazon the only option for file/image uploads (can I use local hard-drive?)
  • How would you distinguish this from frozennode? (I haven't used frozennode myself but this seems to be in a similar space).

Thanks!

Conorcan,

Great, glad to hear it!

  • Yes, Amazon is the only storage supported. Local storage would be a great option and pretty easy to build.
  • I have never used frozennode but it looks similar in some ways.

Please or to participate in this conversation.
