Flarum 1.0 - Forums made simple

So much has happened since the first announcement here (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) 6 years ago! It has been a crazy ride. Over hundred contributors worked on Flarum, yet a small team has worked consistently for the past few years to get stable done. This dedication has caused companies like UPC Switzerland, giffgaff and Bunq to adopt Flarum as their community framework of choice. Flarum is: 🧩 extensible first, appealing to small or enterprise communities 🆓 just open source ⚡ very fast, even with a decent amount of extensions enabled 💃 elegant, minimalist design Flarum runs on PHP (Laravel components) and JavaScript (Mithril) and thus works on shared hosting environments (with composer enabled), your own (virtual) server or in the cloud! With this milestone reached we are excited to have our eyes on our future milestones as well as focusing on growing our ecosystem. Want to give Flarum a spin?

Thanks for sharing and upvoting.

I have been running Flarum now for 5 years in production on a forum with over 5k registered users. Even before reaching 1.0 it was always fairly stable and I never had any major issues. My favourite part is the extensibility, I don't know much PHP, but I managed to develop some more challenging plugins for my users, like Keybase identity proof. Congratulations on the 1.0 release 🎉!

This is a very fresh approach to forum software. Additionally, this is a PHP-based software making it available for a large audience. Running this is really easy and the extension ecosystem is also great.

Flarum is my go-to forum software these days. It combines a modern approach to categorization/tagging (unlike the older generation of forum software like phpBB) with a great design and minimalistic feature set which can be extended via plugins. Many people will argue, that Discourse is much better/faster/whatever – but personally I disagree. I find Flarum to be much more intuitive, minimalistic and more catered towards my specific needs (which are mostly about small scale, private communities).

This is the best free forum software available out there. Unlimited possibilities. Unrival support. Great mobile UI. Get a feel of it at our forum: https://www.kobocity.com I wish I can give it more than 5 stars

Great open source Community solution with a awesome and very engaged community behind the product. What I like about Flarum is - Flexible and adoptable - Great UX - Fast - Lean approach And now on Version 1 :-)

I've been following since the middle of the beta process. It showed that the team is always working hard with new updates every 2-3 months. I think the most important feature of Flarum is that it is innovative. They have progressed without adhering to traditional attitudes. With the 1.0 version, I can now see my way more easily and my confidence in the team has increased. Congratulations. 🥳

Thanks for the product
