I meant to do this for #SourceCodeSunday but I ended up getting sick over the weekend. Better late than never. 
I wanted to thank everyone involved in the Discourse community for being here; for the devs on GitHub triaging, reproducing, and fixing bugs, for those providing support on this forum, and especially to those keeping the Discourse self-hosted option relevant. Whether we’re cheap, low on funds (
), or simply allergic to additional subscription fees, self-hosted Discourse makes a big impact on the world, even if it might otherwise lower the company’s bottom line.
Speaking of which, I just came across the recent news. It’s unfortunate hear about layoffs and with the current (U.S.) economy, I get it. While I have a thought I won’t post here, here’s what I will say. If you read the comments for that blog post, some are by employees let go. They have nothing but positive to things to say about Discourse, still. That’s not easy to do, props to Discourse for that.
Discourse (the software) operates at a level I once considered WordPress to be at. Open-source, powerful, yet very polished and intuitive. Thank you to everyone this year but keep making it all happen.
In particular I’d like to thank @tobiaseigen for the herding and @RGJ for recent help.
