Description

Keyboard is a lightweight, really basic board software which features an invite-only (per generated keys) system and random anonymous nicknames in each thread (think 4chan ID's).
However, these things can easily be changed so it can be transformed into a traditional board.
Keyboard is written in Laravel 5.4

Configuration

You can find most of the config in config/_custom.php.
You can change pagination limits, add new callsigns and change groups or permissions.
A few notes about groups and permissions:

• The lowest group is always the one that stands for permanently banned (can't access the board at all).
• All groups under 0 may have restrictions (It is assumed that everything under 0 is not a full user).
• The highest group is always the one that gets assigned on use with your admin key.

If you want to remove the invite only access: Remove everything regarding keys in the register view and controller, as well as in the profile view and profile controller.
If you want to remove the anonymous callsigns: Simply change the $callnames[$xyz->author] to $xyz->username and remove the comments around ->username assignment in the thread controller.

The entire board is styled with bootstrap, so it's pretty easy to style over it. The css is found in public/css/.
