Talkyard VS Lobsters

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?

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.

Talkyard

Hello! Here there will be discussions about the software named Talkyard, and related things. (https://github.com/debiki/talkyard)

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.

We are using https://www.talkyard.io to set this up - it is a stackoverflow-esque community interface with a bit of slack mixed in.

You may be using Discourse but you should be using TalkYard.

"I actually wish we had a hacker community like this without the business/startup side at all"

Sounds like you want https://lobste.rs

Well, there's https://lobste.rs/, or we could all go back to slashdot I guess

Requesting https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters as I'm going through that codebase and would be able to provide feedback. cheers

ps. just gonna second everyone else who's saying being able to edit out incorrect data is very important, otherwise people are gonna be weary of reading repos they aren't already familiar with.

> Hacker News, but also lobster.rs

First time I hear about it. I think you meant https://lobste.rs
