The Discourse Blog seems to be built with Discourse, but it doesn’t look like a forum - notably, there are “Notable Replies” below certain posts and the layout is much different - what tools were used to build the blog?

It’s WordPress and probably using the wp-discourse plugin .

What is Discourse Blog built with?
