Next up: forum signatures as a plugin (vBulletin/phpBB users will remember), Plate WYSIWYG editor, and full admin panel with menus, user management, plugins... #buildinpublic
barazo.forum 🔧
Also added some nice CI optimization across all repos.
85 PRs in 4 days. Alpha means testing on production right? 😅
Also shipped: admin panel design settings (logo/favicon, colors etc), custom pages CMS, onboarding fields for age/jurisdiction/TOS).
E.g.: set depth to 1 for flat discussions, crank it up over 9000 for Reddit-style threads if you want. As admin you can also just change the number however you want, it's just a different view. Last big frontend piece done!
Barazo update: threaded replies are live, and admins pick how deep they nest 🧵
Light mode (dark moon on light background) and dark mode (light sun on dark background)
Yes, of course we have both a dark and light mode from the start 🤍🖤
Avatar, Display name, Banner and Bio are automatically imported and can be overwritten per individual forum.

Account Settings page coming along nicely.
Split between settings that are local (to the specific forum you are currently in) versus global (settings that will apply to ALL Barazo forums you are a member of.
Will be reposted on our own Barazo blog once there is one, for now the focus is on building the forum software itself 😅
Introducing Barazo: community forums where members own their data, by @gui.do

working on it.... 💪
You've posted on dozens of forums over the years. Built up reputation, guides, answered questions...
None of it comes with you when you leave.
We're fixing that. Forum software where your identity actually belongs to you. Posts stored on your PDS, reputation that follows you across communities.
