Ask HN: What's an old software that you would like to have again?
woltlab burning board or phpbb:
But in a memory safe and secure (read as: strongly typed and sanitized) language, with a better database query concept. The old forums were plagued by SQL injection or PHP parser corruption/overflow exploits.
After reddit and stackoverflow both kinda are on their way to the shitter, I'd love to see e.g. an open source golang or rust based forum software flourish. Ideally supported by EFF or the Linux foundation.
There is Apache Answers [1] which was very promising, but I'm not sure whether the focus was that this was just a one time incubator product or whether they plan on building it further.
I fear that a lot of projects that were trying to tackle this niche were too overengineered. The reason why PHP forums were so popular is because it was easy (or convenient) to deploy. A simple VPS setup, even XAMPP or LAMPP tools existed, and all server administration web UIs like confixx had support for managing its dependencies.

Moderation strike: Stack Overflow cannot ignore, mistreat, malign volunteers
https://github.com/answerdev/answer#readme is Apache 2 licensed, the sibling comment pointed out that the existing S.O. data is open licensed, but your premise has the same problem every "I'm going to take my ball and go play in the other yard" does: the network effect is very, very real
