Chat "demo": https://forum.talkyard.io/-31/support-chat Q&A demo: https://insightful.demo.talkyard.io/-6/asking-for-help-in-it... If you want to self-host, I'd love feedback on the new installation instructions! Installation repo: https://github.com/debiki/talkyard-prod-one/tree/ty-prod-one... — upcoming new version (feedback welcome). Docker Compose on Debian/Ubuntu. Source code: https://github.com/debiki/talkyard, AGPL. React, Scala, Postgres. Biz model: SaaS + Enterprise edition. Backstory: Inspired by angry people saying silly things in debate programs on Swedish TV. I thought they needed time to think, before they spoke. But they couldn't stay in the TV studio for hours and days. They needed a place online where they could share their thoughts, later when done thinking. There wasn't any good software for this, so I started coding. (T

Open source Vanilla seems to not be doing well: https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/39204/where-do-we-.... It's a shame. I thought it had a nice UI: mobile-friendly, not very flashy, around 300K per page (less if assets are cached), rendered on the server. I wanted to migrate my FluxBB forum to Vanilla, since FluxBB is effectively discontinued in favor of Flarum. If I migrate my forum now, it will probably be to Flarum. https://www.unitedbsd.com/ runs it, and I seem to like the experience of browsing it more than Discourse forums (edit: but I still prefer paginated forums without infinite scrolling). It also helps that Flarum has lower system requirements than Discourse. The forum migration tool https://github.com/linc/nitro-porter targets both Vanilla and Flarum, though I haven't actually attempted a migration with it, so I don't k

> > after few months I can't update to a new version > forum owners often won't upgrade their website ... plugins that likely will break Maybe then it'd make sense if I mentioned Talkyard https://github.com/debiki/talkyard — it's forum software with automatic upgrades. I'm developing it. There's not yet any plugin system, instead currently "everything" is built-in, and there are (unfortunately) fewer features.

Talkyard Blog Comments, https://talkyard.io/blog-comments (I'm developing it. Open source: https://github.com/debiki/talkyard. Not yet so well documented — soon time to add more docs, ... as per this nice discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26002656 )

why does the code use reactjs AND jquery ? https://github.com/debiki/talkyard/blob/master/package.json

It's at GitHub too: https://github.com/debiki/talkyard (What OS do you use? Sometimes the website won't load in iPhone, although works for me in my iPhone 7)

Here's one where you can have HN/Reddit type discussions, crossed with traditional forum software ... & some new ideas: https://github.com/debiki/talkyard (I'm developing it)

I self host Talkyard, a cross between StackOverflow, Slack, HackerNews. https://github.com/debiki/talkyard (I'm developing it) And SyncThing, https://syncthing.net/

If you want your own StackOverflow like community for your project, at your own website, maybe Talkyard could be interesting: https://github.com/debiki/talkyard (I'm developing it) There're no downvotes. Instead: Like, and Disagree votes, and it's fine to both Like and Disagree with something at the same time (they work in separate "dimensions"). (You have any thoughts or feedback?)
