About Twill
Twill is an innovative open-source package designed for the Laravel framework. It empowers developers to swiftly create a customized content management system (CMS) that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also robust and adaptable. The essence of Twill lies in its ability to standardize common CMS functions without limiting the developer's control, thus facilitating the delivery of a feature-rich admin console tailored to meet contemporary publishing demands.
Twill is an offering from AREA 17, driven by the philosophy that managing content should be a creative, efficient, and satisfying endeavor for both content creators and developers.
Key Benefits

- Flexibility: Developers can craft their data models or integrate existing ones without being locked in.
- Versatility: It makes no assumptions about the front-end, allowing use within a Laravel app or in a headless manner.
- Efficiency: Unnecessary features can be turned off to avoid bloat, and there's no requirement to write or adapt HTML for the admin UI.
- Extensibility: Developers can extend Twill according to their unique needs.
