That’s funny, I completely forgot I wrote this topic when I wrote this one: [Do you use Discourse as a non-community tool?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/do-you-use-discourse-as-a-non-community-tool/356509)

It covers basically the same things, but three years later.

I’ve added a few features, and it’s an incredible tool I use literally every day. I put so many useful things on it.

I also make use of #placeholder-forms as described here: [Placeholder forms is such a great component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/placeholder-forms-is-such-a-great-component/386769)
