I spend way too much time on this. It has awesome features, a good mobile UI, maaany many systems to sort things, flexible permissions and more.
Examples:
- Fedora
- KDE
- uBlue
- Tor project (they also have an onion site)
- Manjaro, EndeavorOS, Garuda
- Brave
- Nextcloud
- ZorinOS
- PrivacyGuides, Techlore
- Audacity
- Anki
- Joplin …
I would be more impressed if Discourse worked in my browser without using an extension to inject code changes. It also tries to forbid browsers it doesn’t recognize, regardless of their ability to run its code. Plus it doesn’t downgrade gracefully—you should be able to view public information in full without Javascript (I don’t expect any ability to log in or manipulate content, but reading things should work, and Discourse seems to break scrolling somehow). Not impressed. Granted, I’m not sure what I would choose if I were setting up a Web forum today, since mobile is now such a Big Thing and I don’t use it, but Discourse fails at things I consider basic.
Yes I agree. Discourse is good on mobile though.
What code injection do you mean?
Reviewing it (I haven’t needed to touch the setup in a good year or more), it’s basically a replacement to make other code think the browser acceptability check returned
true, since feeding in a fake User-Agent stopped being sufficient to pass the check a couple of years ago. One-liner, and not written by me, but I seriously hate the fact that it pushes browser monopoly.
