sipity VS forem

My solution was to perform some ActiveRecord antics. I had previously done extensive antics in my query implementations of Sipity. Fortunately, for the Forem implementation I didn’t need to dive deep into Arel.

So I began scratching together an Entity Relationship Diagram of the database tables I would need to encode the complex state machine that began emerging. In implmenenting the state machine in the database, I could make a database change, run it through Graphviz, and print out the current state of the flowchart. Sipity, the state-based collaborative todo application, still chugs along 7 years later. And a few years later, we extracted a major component of it for another application. I have dreams of a proper gem-based extraction, but have never prioritized that effort.

The journey of deploying an open-source software platform like forem can be complex and daunting, but with the right tools and services, it can also be remarkably rewarding. This article details my experience deploying Forem, the software behind the Dev.to, on Render.com, deploying Promptzone.com.

In the future, I think we will probs make this uniform with the others. I've logged this request here on GitHub... hmmm, maybe I should embed it here instead. 😉

I even opened a discussion, which got no responses so far (which I think existed somewhere else or I am the only one with this issue...).

Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice 😉, sprucing up your portfolio, or writing a new post here on DEV, we'd like to hear about it.

Do more documentation-related and code contributions to Forem's repository

This year again, I contributed to DEV with multiples ways, I've contributed very little to the repository, moderated the bad posts quite a bit, and welcomed newcomers to the platform. I feel that a place like this should always be so welcoming to users, so why shouldn't I?
