Well, out of curiosity I went to check on Flarum.  
It looks great, in some way it’s similar to discourse ( in terms of design ), but it is build on php ( which is preferred by some, easier to install for eg ).

I was going to list of all of discourse great features, community and blablabla… before I realise that Flarum is still beta and unstable according to this page:

[https://flarum.org/docs/install.html](https://flarum.org/docs/install.html)

It’s specifically written that it **should not be used in production**.  
Better stick with Discourse…
