Lite Blog a minimal full (frontend &amp; backend) blog generator built with [tailwindcss](https://tailwindcss.com/) and [wink](https://github.com/themsaid/wink) a laravel publishing platform by [Mohamed Said](https://github.com/themsaid). The frontend is a replicate of [jigsaw blog template](https://jigsaw.tighten.co/).
