Lol frontend so easy to use he made a post!
Site looks cool.
So this is basically for long form posts, right?
It’s for anything related to selfhosting, can be a single sentence question or a very long post about people’s home datacenters.
Nice.
Just noticed what Claude has done to the comment ordering. This is way off lol.
Ok fixed this, but replying to deep comment threads is annoying because it still only has 1 comment bar at the top of the page.
Ok fixed that too because it was bothering me so much.
Self hosting kinda niche now as a lot just go for hosting providers, but it can't hurt
Still tons of people who do it because $$$, plus some things are just better to host yourself. Also IMO as long as you are hosting it(even if it is in a VM provided by a provider) it's still self hosting since you are the admin.
Oh yea if we count VM then self hosting is bigger
there's some more unique stuff with the website
Uhalala, another tester :)
Everyone loves the site :)
i wonder it's possible to turn this into a discussion board - like we had back in the days with the woltlab burning board or the BB-Code ones...
A forum(and a mix of reddit) is what inspired me to work on this. Working on spinning up a discourse forum for another project and thought "hmm, Hive can probably do this" and built it. Some aspects are kind of lacking due to Hive's public nature vs a forum(ex you can't exactly ban someone from reading stuff since they can use another interface to get around interface level limits), but for any public stuff, Hive works great. I want to use this as a proof of concept and gather some users, and then offer this as a thing anyone can run in order to have their own forum like website powered by Hive, but the end user doesn't need to understand Hive to utilize it due to the fact they sign up with an email/password and run from there.
And a Forum, based on the decentralized text-based Storage we have, is way more easier than handling an entire sql database themself. Some more are vBulletin, phpBB ... and the way most interesting part of this is, the central login point - imagine having hundreds of discussion board for any kind of topic but the login is all the time thesame with keychain / email etc. for all available forums. i like the idea.
Yup, like stackexchange with it's ecosystem of sites that exist! And the dual login makes it easy for anyone who's already familiar with Hive to utilize it with maximum power, or someone new to just explore and not have to deal with anything "Hive" related, to them it's just another site that they deal with via email and password.
It's nice to see new apps springing up, giving users options on the platform.
Heading there right away. 😅
looks good. a new frontend builder? i tried using the existing one on github, but couldn't load everything. :(
Not a builder, one specific to the Selfhosting community here on Hive!
😉 i see. thanx for the clarification.
Feel free to try it out! Trying some new stuff on it like support for email based accounts.
