Discourse is a civilized discussion construction kit for the modern, open web -- built for you with a whole lot of JavaScript, some Ruby, and most of all, love.
I love Discourse, as a user and an admin. I wish all forums would switch over.
Why is this featured? Anything spectacular in the new version?

it's our biggest release yet! I'm biased but I think it's got a lot spectacular features in the new version:
It certainly looks like it. I was (and still am) seriously impressed with Discourse but its kinda strange that features this version, where they normally only feature 'older' apps when a big, big update is introduced. Or when a beta is finally released. I still haven't forgotten the last release:
Seems like the blog is down?

Sorry about that, it was a temporary blip and is up now.

I'm not sure about the criteria for being featured as I'm new to product hunt, but I'd love to discuss new features or any questions anyone might have!

The last time Discourse was listed was in January 2014. That was during beta, well before Discourse 1.0 in August 2014. (It was probably still beta 0.8 back then.) We're on version 1.3 as of today, in June 2015.
Great product! I only dabble in front end development and was able to easily customize my site using the tools and outstanding support that Discourse provides. They were even nice enough to include a screenshot of my Discourse instance (Polygonal Talk)!

I have used it extensively in Andrew Chen's talk platform: and also for Write The Docs forum at . I think it meets most of the goals of a well structured, well monitored, and custom discussion forum. I like it.

Pros:

Highly customizable and modular in what exactly we need.

Cons:

Bit of a learning curve while setting up first time. :)

Discourse is great! So simple to use.
This is awesome. I have used it for some time at, . Superb! :)
Looks like a great community. Thanks for sharing!
An awesome tool! I often go on Discourse based forums, and always love the look and the way they work.
We use Discourse at Bugcrowd and so far I've been quite happy with it. Easy to setup and customize, helped us launch a forum very quickly!

Discourse is easily the best community management tool available currently. It's fast and is simple to use.

Pros:

Extremely simple and fast to use.

Cons:

I don't think this Discourse needs anything now. It's lovely.
