Fishbb is a simple, yet minimalist bulletin board board software that’s designed for sustainable online communities.

 

It uses go + & sqlite and no javascript along with 12 dependencies, 2,000 lines of, 2000 lines of code.

 

 

FishBB is designed to require a minimal amount of infrastructure and maintenance burden for self-hosting.

 

All FishBB data is stored in a single sqlite file. HTML templates are embedded in the Go bindary.

 

FishBB is VERY early in development -- expect bugs and be very wary of sensitive data. Make sure to change the admin password away from default credentials.

FishBB also runs as a 'cluster' where multiple forums can be created. These forums can either exist in the 'cluster' (as a sort of broader forum manager) or exported on their own.

 

The app that hosts the fishbb cluster is https://git.sr.ht/~aw/fishbb-cluster

It could definitely use some styling... 😬

 

It's not that fast for being "lite" either.

Agreed! Some basic modern styling would be nice.

 

I also found myself clicking on 'x days ago by x' instead of the actual topic. I feel like it should be placed below the topic that was posted in. Overall the layout does not feel very intuitive (to me, at least).

This reminds me a bit of FluxBB, which that software is no longer being developed. Their support forum is quite dead too, but this one looks better than Cerca at least. Looks like one of the admins must live near me since I see a subforum for St. Louis topics which is interesting.

Where do you find these projects, [mention=5]Cpvr[/mention] ? :ROFLMAO:

 

Could be interesting, but I've seen way too many of these small one man band projects come and go to know that it'll likely go nowhere. I mean, last updates to anything related to the Alpha version of this software was 5 months ago... doesn't fill me with hope. :(

I usually find these projects on Reddit and another forum that I’m a member of. There’s a lot of indie developers in those spaces working on different forum software concepts.

 

 

 

Mikeal from the 32bit community actually introduced me to Cera and FishBB, however, I found Neobb while browsing Reddit.

I think most of them can probably can get taken over by another developer if the updates slow down though.

It’s interesting that there’s more options available though.
