Everything works so well. In particular, the real-time feedback to everything the user does (from simple text formatting to the “your topic is similar to” to literally everything about the site design!) feels really responsive and an absolute pleasure to use.
I second this. I know this is an implementation of a “Discourse” layout and I am really impressed with how it operates. There are so many cool features about it and I feel like I am discovering new things every day. Even just really minor things like how typing these responses shows you a real-time mirrored preview of what your comment will look like after formatting is super slick. And having the reply text box be adjustable in size so you can see the entirety of longer posts is one of those things that I have always hated about reddit and I feel has subconsciously discouraged me from wanting to write out longer posts. Also, the tag and category system makes filtering and navigating the forum a breeze, which all other forums lack.
One thing I have learned in years of different forums. " Its amazing how much I learn when I don’t know it all or pretend to. I’m just another bozo . on the bus, like everyone else.
Thanks for the feedback! We experimented with a couple of different forum layouts / designs but we found this one to be the best. Very user-friendly and simple to navigate.
There is an update being released this summer which will hopefully fix a couple of issues. The mobile code could use an update.
Also I know @I_want_all_the_tacos asked if a mobile app is in the works. Currently you can use the discourse app (its fairly similar to desktop though). In terms of a straight up forum app, there currently is not one in the works but that could easily change!
I think @taronlissimore may have meant “Discourse app” instead of “Discord app”. Link: iOS and Android, but both of these are pretty pointless because they just open a web view of the forum.
