Hotwire Starter Kit Updates

Hey, folks.

I've just wrapped up some updates to the Hotwire Starter Kit for Laravel! It now has 2FA built-in (see the PR):

... and, also following the official Laravel Starter Kits, all the auth-related routes were replaced with Laravel Fortify (see PR). This should make the Hotwire Starter Kit feel lighter.

I'm working on a demo application for Hotwire and Laravel. The Rails folks now have good examples with both Campfire and Fizzy being public, and I think we're missing something like that for Laravel. It will also be open-source and you will be able to spin it up locally or host it on your own servers to have a taste of the look and feel of a Hotwired Laravel app.

That's all for now. Happy holidays!
