There is nothing like Discourse.
Impossible to compare with “the forum/board” or “the community” or “the bulletin” that crosses your mind.
I am very very very happy to have encouraged myself to make the leap and move forward.
Here it is always forward (as Luke Cage says).
Thank you very much to the team, and to the whole community.
The support and “customer service” here are simply exceptional.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday. I was skeptical of forums and preferred mailing lists for many years, but Discourse demonstrated that the problem was with how the forums were done, not the concept itself. Discourse is clearly a far better solution and has dramatically improved the community surrounding Keyboard Maestro. Fantastic results, so thank you to you and all your team for all the hard work!
