Flarum

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 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.

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. 🥳

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 :-)

Thanks for the product

Stable is almost here!
