About LAZ
---------

[](#about-laz)

LAZ is a open source social network that uses the expressive and easy to use [Laravel Framework](https://github.com/laravel/laravel) to easily build "social network like" features such as:

- [Favoriting Users](https://github.com/Core-Tech-Labs/SocialMapFavorites)
- [Messaging Users](https://github.com/Core-Tech-Labs/LaravelXMPP)
- Posting on Users Profiles
- Notifying Users on key events
- Showing Online Users

It is ready for initial production use but was made in mind to be flexible for developers and web masters to a add features specific to their target audience.
