As a Front End Developer I've grown quite fond of Laravel and how intuitive it is to code the back end. I've always avoided admin panels due to integration limitations that I knew would be a conflict of interest but after watching all of the Voyager Academy videos this product appears to be the most extendable and least limited admin panel I've come across. Additionally, and I may be committing a sin here by comparing the two, one reason I've always known WordPress to have a leg up on Laravel(I am aware one is a framework and one is a CMS) was the fact non-coders could modify pages/entities however they saw fit but this admin panel, as coder oriented as it is, appears to bridge that gap quite nicely. Great job and awesome product! Can't wait to use it!
I've just tried it for the first time a few of hours ago and it left me very frustrated very quickly. It seems like the system is pretty rigid. I Googled for over an hour, searched the documentation and couldn't find the answers to the very simple questions. Then I went to GitHub issues and it seems like many features are indeed lacking and have been lacking for years.
I also checked if the BREAD base controller (BREAD is where I need the customizations done). It looks intimidating, as if they've put all of the BREAD logic in that single controller class. Same with the "browse" view.
Visual interface for generating CRUD is a nonsense. It's like this project is about making WordPress out of Laravel. Limited CRUD generation for content creators. Seriously, this is not for people who want easy customization and control.
However, I like how you can easily extend and override the default controllers like the VoyagerAuthController controller, so I'll give it that. But when it comes to the whole CRUD/BREAD system, it's a disappointment.

This is such a time saver! Allows me to focus more on business logic rather than re-creating the same old CRUD functionality for every project.

Voyager fills a simple gap in the Laravel atmosphere, now creating apps is even more fun and much easier.
Pros:Voyager makes building apps even more fun. Love this package
Cons:none that I can think of :)
