Why We Love Discourse

Well, some people may think that I’m over emphasizing, but I trust that I’m pretty accurate, Jeff Atwood, Sam Saffron, and Robin Ward have literally allowed a highly premium, and “enterprisey” software to be in hands of everyone for free - as in freedom - not just that, also sophisticated, fancy, and amazing plugins/themes that would cost $$$ or even $$$$ if you decided to hire someone to craft for you.

Think about Wordpress, if you needed to achieve something simple like s3 backup, well, go and buy that random plugin for $199 subscription.

No amount of money, no bunch of words will be sufficient to give these guys their actual credit, just wanted to say thanks a billion times for allowing Discourse to exist. :heart:

Thanks! You would also want to credit all 3 of the founders, including @eviltrout :wink:

Yes agreed. The more I use Discourse, the more I love it. Many of my visitors also think likewise. Thanks for the hard work for those involved in this project. Kudos!

I always loved the idea of having my own community website and I tried many platforms so far, but honestly, none of them are so modern and have so many useful features out of the box. That WordPress-Discourse plugin is also a big + for me as well as the badge system :heart_eyes:
So thank you Discourse team for creating such an awesome product!
