LAZ - Open Source Social Network Made Simple.

About LAZ

LAZ is a open source social network that uses the expressive and easy to use Laravel Framework to easily build "social network like" features such as:

• Favoriting Users
• Messaging Users
• 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.
