Ask HN: phpBB or Discourse, which one should I implement?
Hello all. I am finishing the system I am currently working at, and while I need an online bulletin board system, I don't know if I should use the good (?) and old phpBB or the new, fancy (but still "weird" for some users) Discourse.
Did someone set up an enviroment with Discourse and can give me some feedback? Thanks in advance.
For those who don't know Discourse: http://meta.discourse.org/
- na85 13y agophpBB has a lot of cruft, both in terms of UI/UX and in terms of the codebase. But I'm not really a fan of the Discourse style, where once a discussion falls off the front page it's not immediately easy to find again, esp. for novice internet users. IMHO it's a case of Devil You Know, and Discourse's "benefits" aren't overpowering enough to motivate me to switch in my own side projects.
