  • We’re in Exodus…! The boat you will find, you hang on and pray 🙏 for me i have disliked flarum so much, in such a way that i cant even visit my own domain. It has caused huge damage. Really big! And i feel like i wasted a whole year. And the feeling? People looking at you wasting your time. It’s so bad.

    I will visit my domain when i have fully installed my new software 😍… I found madway by the way he also quit flarum, we had lengthy chat drinking mushroom tea, i’ll invite him here one of these days

    @Sala do invite madway here. I remember him also from the Flarum days. Flarum’s ecosystem is a money generating one which is why most of the development efforts these days is centralized around Blomstra.

  • Whats up guys. Hows everyone doing?

    Agree with the situation. There is nothing worst that to have allot of discussions and later on realise that you picked the wrong platform. Not bashing Flarum, its not their fault. Like most, I should have realised that composer platforms are not for me. I think NodeBB is composer as well. Correct me if Im wrong. Any way, since I been bisy with my own thing, I completely lost track of whats out there? Any new forum or blog type platforms out there? Not Laravel of course.

    @MadWay NodeBB is actually NPM so not composer 👍

    @MadWay welcome on NodeBB board 🙂

    @phenomlab not for free hosting I assume. There is no install.php or similar, If I remember. Does it have that option to have full first post display on front page i stead of just a title?

    @phenomlab He always arrives safe 😊

    @Hari i agree on that, url structure can be seo effective. I am going to work on WordPress this next week, remember you were able to bring down TTF to 200ms on flarum? 😄 , so let’s aim under that and play small load time and leave everything there and watch how will play out. At least this time we have a wider ground, and able to pay just anyone to work on the simpler worldwide code unlike some place 🤭 We looked like we were captives in some sense. You can’t do a minor change because the extension it’s used by everyone. Now we free d**n!

    If we all have something great, imagine how we can benefit on backlinks, and how will be so simple! Not forgetting phenomlab is good in security.

    @MadWay NodeBB is in fact based on NodeJS so doesn’t use PHP at all.

    I can’t see how this is achievable. At least I never managed to get below 600ms in most cases and this was on powerful hardware.

  • @cagatay and @Hari how were you able to make all those green color? Fantastic!

  • @cagatay and @Hari how were you able to make all those green color? Fantastic!

    @Sala it’s worth noting that making excessive changes chasing the holy grail of A+ for performance can actually have a negative impact on the overall experience. Because of this, I’d strongly recommend thoroughly testing each change in an incognito browser session to ensure the user experience isn’t impacted.

    @Sala was away from keys for a few weeks to visit TajMahal 😊

    try this! $5/ month but it is worth it.

    @Hari I’ve been reading a lot about APO. Looks impressive.

    @Panda said in Nodebb design: One negative is not being so good for SEO as more Server side rendered forums, if web crawlers dont run the JS to read the forum. From recollection, Google and Bing have the capability to read and process JS, although it’s not in the same manner as a physical person will consume content on a page. It will be seen as plain text, but will be indexed. However, it’s important to note that Yandex and Baidu will not render JS, although seeing as Google has a 90% share of the content available on the web in terms of indexing, this isn’t something you’ll likely lose sleep over. @Panda said in Nodebb design: The “write api” is preferred for server-to-server interactions. This is mostly based around overall security - you won’t typically want a client machine changing database elements or altering data. This is why you have “client-side” which could be DOM manipulation etc, and “server-side” which performs more complex operations as it can communicate directly with the database whereas the client cannot (and if it can, then you have a serious security flaw). Reading from the API is perfectly acceptable on the client-side, but not being able to write. A paradigm here would be something like SNMP. This protocol exists as a UDP (UDP is very efficient, as it is “fire and forget” and does not wait for a response like TCP does) based service which reads performance data from a remote source, thus enabling an application to parse that data for use in a monitoring application. In all cases, SNMP access should be “RO” (Read Only) and not RW (Read Write). It is completely feasible to assume complete control over a firewall for example by having RW access to SNMP and then exposing it to the entire internet with a weak passphrase. You wouldn’t do it (at least, I hope you wouldn’t) and the same ethic applies to server-side rendering and the execution of commands.

    @DownPW exactly. Not really a new concept, and in all honesty, not something I’ve ever used. If you consider the need to add links and references, or citations, you’d need to be able to see other parts of the screen!

    @Panda said in Smart Widgets: So why is that, or conversely why would the function to expose username ever be required, as it seems app.user is already an available global object? It is, yes, but not if you are using it outside of a widget. The function I wrote is also historical and comes from the 2.x train

    @Panda said in Email validation NodeBB: Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that? I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.
