NodeBB is a next-generation discussion platform that utilizes web sockets for instant interactions and real-time notifications. NodeBB forums have many modern features out of the box such as social network integration and streaming discussions. NodeBB is an open source project which can be forked on GitHub.
I was lucky enough to stumble on NodeBB in the early days right as we were transitioning a large user base from another forum and needed a platform that could handle the volume and speed of interactions that our users demanded. We took a big risk on NodeBB in 2014 when it was brand new and it has paid off in spades over the years. For seven years our users have consistently raved about ease of use and performance of the platform while on the back end we have been thrilled with the ease of management and low resource needs of hosting even for a site hitting hundreds of millions of hits per month. It is modern, regularly updated, has a great community and team behind it. We've always gotten lots of support and know that we made the right choice and continue to choose NodeBB as our forum of choice.

I don't think it does at all! > The overriding design goal for Markdownโs formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like itโs been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ Using some semantic HTML as an occasional escape hatch is perfectly in... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
> Iโve started preferring HTML as an output format instead of Markdown and increasingly see this being used by others on the Claude Code team, this is why. This is why I read long agent output either by using VIM and MacOS Quicklook (with a markdown extension for rendering) or paste output into MarkEdit (an editor with a preview pane; I think itโs cross platform?). Worst case, have an agent build you a simple... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
The inventor of markdown, John Gruber (yes that John Gruber of daringfireball fame) has always distanced himself from any efforts to make it a "standard" too, in part why we ended up with the name "commonmark" for that project... > https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ > https://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-common-markdown/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
> The problem with reStructuredText at least is, that there seems to be only one canonical parser, that defines the format. The same is true of Markdown (the canonical parser being John Gruber's at https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) but that didn't stop third parties from writing their own and extending it. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
ADR-001 explored different approaches to handling mixed Markdown and Nunjucks content, ultimately selecting front-matter as the simplest approach that maintained compatibility with other tools. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

> I'm a big fan of https://nodebb.org/ TIL to what shit Netgate moved pfSense forums to. I'm glad you are fine with it, but not only my FullHD monitor is not a smartphone, so I don't need 400% fonts on everything (and post dates on the faaaaar right clearly shows nobody ever even used the forum) and most importantly - search doesn't work. It's not like the previous forum had a good search, but at least it worked.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
I wrote about this a while ago for Slack/forums: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3451 but the points still hold. HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29154216 Full featured OSS forum you can self-host or let them host for you (for $). Big fan of letting people use the search interface they want, which is almost always Google. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
You said it's based on. This means that there are modifications to the implementation of nodebb. So where is your modifications' source code then? stackfoss/stackfoss is just a single readme file. Source: over 3 years ago
