Project mention: PhpBB | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-16

I would like to use this opportunity to also mention about a forum software I am building, Misago: https://misago-project.org/
Around year ago I've started to aggressively pursue improvements to it's UX and featureset which to my surprise resulted in project getting new (small) wave of attention and a lot of great feedback on what else is missing and what needs changed that I am working on at.
I've grown on old school forums, phpBB2, Invision Power Board 2.3, vBulletin 3 and I am trying to hit a sweet spot between old and new, taking inspiration from both other modern solutions like Discourse or Flarum, but also from latest versions of XenForo and Invision Community.
