Is there a forum for clinical informatics that does what biostars does for bioinformatics?

Demoralized and dejected, the job market only seems to be getting worse.
Other place to get suggestions and padding for your Git repo would be to look at questions on boards like BioStars or StackExchange Implement, test, push, and comment with your solution. Make sure you all follow proper coding conventions too. Folks not only want the right answer they want to understand how it's done

How Supabase fits into your stack
Recently I considered replacing the Talkyard comments solution on my notes here with something I've built myself. To do that I need a database. I was looking at different Postgres hosting options when I recalled I had seen buzz from developers on Twitter about Supabase. I wondered if that could be my database host?

Commento - A Self Hosted Comment System for Websites
I switched to TalkYard, which has been a much better experience. They're OSS, they support both blog posts and full-fledged forums, and the maintainer is extremely responsive and active.

Please stop closing forums and moving people to Discord

> forum owners often won't upgrade their website ... plugins that likely will break
Maybe then it'd make sense if I mentioned Talkyard (which I'm developing) https://www.talkyard.io (open source) — it has automatic upgrades. There's not yet any plugin system, instead currently "everything" is built-in, and there are (unfortunately) fewer features.
