Hey nso, thanks! I'm the maker of collective.energy - as you identified, it was originally based on NodeBB but has been highly customized to the needs of our community. Over time, we're moving more and more to our own tools & stack. What specifically are you enjoying about it?
- nso 7y agoI really liked how snappy it felt, and how minimalistic the thread view is. It's hard to put in words but it feels like a combination of many other software I've seen, but that it hits a sweet spot. I'm currently building a BB software \in c# .net core for my own use and with plans to OS it, and your site gave me some ideas and made me question some of the choices I've made. I've been adament agains AJAXifying the navigation between pages, but seeing how well it works on NodeBB I am having second thoughts.
- ericvanular 7y agoThanks for the feedback, best of luck with your project. Feel free to come join us also if you're into saving the earth!
- thephyber 7y agoNodeBB is one of the better engineered forums. The code is a pleasure to read. It's very modular -- makes uses of Node emitters frequently to implement plugin modules via PubSub. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=psychobunny https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=psychobunny did a great job.
