admin panel

I know this has literally been asked dozens of times.

I am after one that my company is hoping to use it in every project - we tried the https://packagist.org/packages/encore/laravel-admin but that was rubbish, i have tried crudbooster and it seems ok..

so crud with ability to extend it a bit..

any recommendations? I have googled and have 7 different ones but i would rather not install all of them and go through plus reading the docs to see if they can be extended or not etc..

If you're willing to pay a little bit of money, I'd recommend looking through the admin templates on themeforest.net

OR just go with this thing called "nova". I guess it does cool stuff...

A decent admin panel can actually be handwritten with links with padding.

I think some here way over thank a simple admin panel just some basic programming and some styling is really all that's needed.

Thanks for Ur input as always.. @jlrdw as always..

The beauty of an admin panel is that it works with every site and you don't have to spend time creating crud forever again...

the only downside of backpack is that you have to commit 1k+ files in the repo.. (the css/js etc) @brightstormhq
