It seems insane that the right choice for PostHog is to build (using a CMS) and then self-host their own forum.
Surely there's a Discourse or similar that provides a hosted forum solution equivalent to Slack?
- mathgladiator 3y agoWhy is it insane? I'm thinking of hiring an intern to build a forum for my saas using my platform. I can have fantastic integration and make it open source to educate on my platform.
- philipwhiuk 3y agoIt's ridiculous we've had forums for decades and people still feel the need to re-invent the wheel (at the huge engineering time and cost involved).
- julianlam 3y agoBecause simply put, thinking that a forum is a weekend project is the issue. I thought that once... it's just a couple of tables in a database and a nice frontend, right? I've been at this (building forum software) for a decade now, and I'm still innovating. Good luck!
