# theforum
|
|
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,
|
|
requires no JS in the browser, and therefore supports browsers with
|
|
noscript. It's also very easy to set up, so anyone 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
|
|
- 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
