"Dismissibles for Laravel is a package for easily handling dismissible, recurring objects like popups/notifications/modals on the server side.

Say you have a popup you want to show to every user, daily for a week. Users can dismiss it and it should not show up again for the rest of the day until the next day.

This packages handles the complex logic regarding whether the (dismissible) popup should be visible to the current user at the current moment. It basically handles the visibility of your dismissible. It's highly customizable, making it very flexible for many scenarios.

Because it's serverside we can easily get statistics like who dismissed what, when and where."
