I just can’t remain silent anymore and I have to say this: I was always greedy to write content and participate in discussions online. I was 100% consumer of the info, and never contributor to it.

But finally this happened to me, too: I’ve loved Discourse (while using Meta) and I’m having a great fun contributing to content, discussing, asking questions, sometimes writing answers, reading while having a coffee break etc. I just can’t stop…thanks to how easy it is to use and how content-focused it is.

P.S. Well, it is necessarily to say that the community is wonderful, too, and that makes Discourse Meta itself just a BIG place to stay tuned and be heard. Discourse platform encourages to communicate frequently and faster.

Thanks!

That’s great! Try to run an active Discourse forum if you haven’t already. We always prioritize feedback from folks with active forums that other people are posting on.

Yeah, we are setting up one these days for Ukrainian notaries and that is where my 20 topics came from.

Actually I have micro things I would contribute to Discourse with JS but I’m still struggling setting up dev environment on my Win laptop, but that’s a different story and I have topics opened for this, too.
