Resources to create site like Laracasts

Stripe is a good solution for payments, you'll need a package to manage videos, like vimeo for example.

This forums is a custom made, you can begin by creating a simple forum and add more features later.

Check the "Which tools were used to create Laracasts?" block in this link https://laracasts.com/faq

Good luck.

Hey @RachidLaasri, that's quite helpful. Thanks for the link. I agree that vimeo seems like the appropriate video solution.

@RachidLaasri,

Thankfully Taylor build Laravel Cashier for this very purpose :D

Thank you @tag for sharing, I read that once but never had a chance to try it out.

I think Jeffrey is planning to release the forum as open source one day.

Well that would be totally awesome. I hope that is the case.

I think with laravel it`s quite simple to create a member / login / register section.

But if you need something that works "out of the box" you can try sentry -> https://github.com/cartalyst/sentry

For tags you could use something like this https://github.com/rtconner/laravel-tagging

Because the forum and the other tools: I think if you use a framework you should develope this by yourself otherwise you could just use a cms like wordpress, joomla & co :P
