A simple forum written in JavaScript, with no browser-side JS required

Why another forum?

This one's a bit special. It's entirely written using node.js, required no JS in the browser, and therefore supports browsers with noscript. It's also very easy to set up, so anyonr can make a simple platform for friends etc.

All pages are server-side-rendered, similarly to how PHP works, just that this is JavaScript instead.

The goal

  • Simple
  • <500sloc (we have 251 at the moment)
  • Entries sorted by newest
  • Very large amount of sub-threads supported (current limiting factor is stack overflow errors, this will be fixed.)
  • Easy setup
  • Anonymous
  • No JS on browser-side required
  • Usable on Text-Based browsers like lynx
