================================================================================ THIS APP IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED
Short Version
- You're welcome to keep using Antvel, but
- No support requests will be answered
- No bugs will be fixed
- No pull requests will be merged
- Feel free to fork it and maintain it yourself
Why?
I originally built Antvel in Jan 2014 when I was just learning Laravel (Laravel 5). I decided to release it as a app mostly just to learn how github and OS worked.
Over time it became verly known and people started opening issues requesting support and additional features. I've always tried to be helpful and provide support, and for the last 18 months I have been planning to dedicate some time to merging all the open pull requests, implementing the feature requests and pleasing some people who wanted a perfect software... But finally I realised I no longer have the time needed for it.
So rather than quietly abandoning it and leaving users wondering what happened, I have decided to officially refactor the e-commerce as a package rather than an app. Also, leaving Antvel as an app that makes use of the mentioned package. The whole working developing can be seen on:
(To be clear, you are welcome to keep using it - just don't expect me to fix it if it breaks. That includes when new Laravel versions are relased.)
This is an alpha, experimental release of Antvel. Everything will change gradually, looking forward to get the best of this awesome product. Thank you for testing!
Antvel is a eCommerce project written in Laravel 5.* intended for building a friendly eStore either for startups or big companies, and is highly opinionated towards that use case. Because it is a platform already built, you only will need to add as many products as you need to start selling and taking orders from customers
Antvel aim is giving to you and your clients the best eCommerse experience in a different aproach!
