Snow.ly

Snowly is a simple CMS built using Laravel & Vue.js.

Snowly was (at first) created for my friends who needed a quick website that would allow them to post their thoughts, write articles, tell a little bit about themselves, get in contact with potential employer or show-off projects - this is why Snowly supplies you with a blog, articles, projects (fetched from github), about and contact page right out of the box - all of which (except Contact) can be entirely hidden.

While the whole system isn't very robust, it was more of a learning experience for me, but since my friends really enjoyed the outcome and use it on a daily basis - I've decided to release it to the public.
