I am building something community oriented and Discourse looks perfect for it. But my eventual plan is to port the community to a custom app later. Curious if anyone has done it before and how hard/easy would it be to do so. Don’t want to lock into the ecosystem.

That would largely be a data migration like any other. The tables are pretty self-explanatory? Or you could just do everything via the API and build your own front end, keeping the Discourse database structure and back end …

It depends on what “port the community to a custom app later” means. If you want to migrate away from Discourse to a custom-made database+backend+frontend+etc, a data migration is the way. If you want to keep using the data and backend layers of Discourse, using it as a headless service and writin…

Well said. I’d also add the enormous non-technical challenges of gaining traction, attracting users, getting the word about, marketing … feature set - what are you offering which gives people something they can’t get from the mainstream apps? Oh and finance … time … At least forums can fit into s…

Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate taking time. Precisely to de-risk non-technical challenges, I want to go with Discourse.

I didn’t know there was a proposal for federation—that would be quite cool. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Paras, Can you share some of your findings please? Do you have any clue about how difficult it is to develop simple and medium complexity features? I guess the developers need to have experience with the stack. But then they need to figure out the workings of the platform and then start puzzling…
