> forum/discussion for a non-technical audience How interesting — what would your community be about? (if I may ask) Non-tech people is a long term goal with Talkyard. As of now, though, I'm thinking none of Talkyard or Discourse or Flarum (did you know about Flarum? https://flarum.org https://flarum.org) or Nodebb are particularly easy to use, for non-tech people? E.g. Markdown for formatting text, and navigating between topics and categories, feel confusing to me. > Discourse [...] the plug-ins they support, and the wiki topic element, the ability to theme it, and the ability to limit or lock categories based on karma and groups Some of those things, but not all, work with Talkyard: 1) Wiki topics / categories — yes, by configuring category permissions (see this reply here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22704726 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22704726 ). 2) Locking categories based on groups and trust levels — yes (see the same link). 3) Plugins: No, unfortunately not. I think there'll will be a WebAssembly based plugin system in the distant future. 4) Theming: Can be done but not so easy — one needs to write CSS code. A theme & colors editor is planned. > liked some of the plug-ins they support I'm curious about which plugins :- )
