    Simple forum software for building great communities.

  • nimforum

    Lightweight alternative to Discourse written in Nim

  • https://forum.nim-lang.org

    uses sqlite, is actively improved, they claim the nim language makes small cross-platform binaries but none for this release it seems.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • upload

    The file upload extension with insane intelligence for your Flarum forum. (by FriendsOfFlarum)

  • A new version of FoF Upload is being worked on to truncate unused files and map uploads to posts. I think it would be a great addition to add user restrictions too. What an excellent idea, it's the first time I've see someone mention it.

  • Lemmy

    🐀 A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse

  • Looks nice. Though my mindshare goes to Lemmy at this point. It's slightly different, but a fediverse project and pretty feature compete at this point:

  • laragon

    Laragon is a portable, isolated, fast & powerful universal development environment for PHP, Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Ruby. It is fast, lightweight, easy-to-use and easy-to-extend.

  • Things like Laragon (https://laragon.org/) have taken up the XAMPP mantle in recent years. Not sure about production (I moved away from Windows for dev stuff similarly), but developing with PHP on Windows has definitely got easier, imo.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
