Integration into custom auth system where emails are not unique?

we did not want to go through with a test deployment until we knew Discourse was usable

Even if you only want to kick the tyres and don’t intend to continue using our hosting, please feel free to start a trial site! We don’t mind!

Honestly, it seems rather difficult to find real documentation on anything outside of the API. At least coming from the perspective of a first time user.

There’s nothing obvious on the Discourse homepage that would link to any documentation, and all links on the DiscourseConnect page either link to unrelated pages or back to the post itself. Trying to search for “Discourse documentation” on search engines just leads to pages like documentation - Discourse Meta, which is just the forum category for it not a real docs page, and https://docs.discourse.org/ but this is the API documentation and doesn’t have anything on it regarding features like DiscourseConnect it seems.

Thank you for this feedback - we are making a conscious effort to improve this.

Would you mind if we contacted you to discuss further?
