NodeBB better be good! 😅

(caveat: lazy take, not done a feature for feature comparison … but please go right ahead if it interests you and share your thoughts here …)

Developer take: I love programming on the Discourse platform ❤ CDCK place a huge emphasis on extensibility and customisation capability (taking into account people with different skill levels) and the community is fantastic ❤ 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 👯

Credit to both platforms for being open source 👍
