Customizing the Spatie dashboard

At Spatie, we have created a dashboard powered by Laravel, Pusher and Vue that displays a lot of information useful for our company. We opensourced the dashboard a while ago.

Vue.js is our first choice because it lets our frontend developers build components for a project without being to be locked into building the whole project on the framework, meaning we can use the right tools for the right job.

The fact that the Spatie dashboard used these meant that all the developers at CUBE would be able to build their own components for it, which was one of my key objectives.
