Building with Filament
When it came to choosing an admin panel for Devlog.ist, Filament was the obvious choice.
Why Filament?
1. Laravel Native
Filament is built specifically for Laravel, meaning:
- Eloquent models work seamlessly
- Laravel's validation rules apply directly
- Auth and policies integrate naturally
2. Beautiful Out of the Box
The default theme is professional and customizable:
// Custom branding
->colors([
'primary' => Color::hex('#E04545'),
])
3. Powerful Forms & Tables
Building CRUD interfaces is incredibly fast:
Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('title')
->searchable()
->sortable(),
Tables\Columns\IconColumn::make('is_published')
->boolean(),
Our Customizations
- Multi-tenant aware resources - Each user sees only their data
