The blog post discusses how Discourse, primarily known as forum software, is also widely used as a team collaboration tool. It highlights benefits such as organized, searchable discussions, effective onboarding, and long-term project management. Examples include remote work facilitation by carwow and community building in workplaces. The post also notes that Discourse supports casual conversations through its built-in chat feature, which can be converted into formal topics. A discussion follows about the newsletter sign-up section in blog posts, where it was removed due to technical limitations preventing form embedding, as explained by nat.
While Discourse is widely recognized as powerful open-source forum software, Discourse has also served as our primary workplace/team collaboration tool from the very beginning.

In this blog post, we share insights on how companies, research labs, and other groups that need spaces to collaborate can effectively use Discourse to support discussions that are worth remembering.

Hey @JimPas, When I check this on both desktop and mobile, I can see the email address field that we want people to fill in. Because you copy and pasted I can’t tell if that field is missing or didn’t copy and paste. Is that email field missing like in the screenshot below? If yes, do you mind sharing the browser you are using?
When you use the “Show full post” button to read the post directly here in the forum, there is no input field.
Screenshot of the paragraph JimPas quoted:
It’s generally not very possible to allow embedding or submission of a form – in this case, the subscription form – in a post, due to various security reasons.
So we’ve removed the “Sign up for our newsletter” section in #announcements:blog topics to prevent confusion.
