at least for embedding, have you tried other solutions such as nodebb or flarum?
it’s hard to compare them alongside with discourse, feature wise.
meta self notes
- future reference: coming from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14256792 while googling for nodebb “email” integration vs discourse as a mewobo unfocused research
- long time without using discourse here; awesome mobile editor, although a bit buggy
- still very #tdwtf reticent (buggy hashtag list lost on bottom screen, can’t scroll through its options and i can see there’s more than 2)
