Interesting. Looks as if you're two people developing it (you and 'glemb', right?). Can I ask is this a startup, or is it a side project? (or something else?) What are your long term goals?

(Your about page says a lot about the forum software & its features, but nothing about who you are or why you're donig this, e.g. vision & goals.)

What about providing hosting? (for people who don't want to / cannot install themselves.) And what about Gmail & FB login, what are your thoughts about supporting that?



Not a startup. It's just an open source project. I wrote it by myself at first but Gleb joined the project several years ago and has pretty much taken stewardship of the project. He's been the spark that the project needed.

There are others working on it as well (much more than I have, or will be) and they're all doing an excellent job.

As far as vision and goals, it depends on what's needed. It's pretty loose for the time being although I could see it maybe changing in the future depending on everyone's circumstances.

No hosting for now, no.
