About
Talkyard is forum software with chat and anonymous comments. It brings together the main features from StackOverflow, Slack, Discourse, Reddit, and Disqus blog comments, so one place covers Q&A topics, idea voting, chat channels, and comments embedded on your blog.
It is aimed at co-workers, customers, students, volunteers, contributors and users, and can work as a self-building FAQ or a customer support forum. Good comments rise to the top, and a Disagree button shows when others disagree with advice before you follow it.
Key features
- Question and Answers topics where you discuss and select an answer.
- Upvote ideas and sort topics by votes.
- Good and insightful comments rise to the top of big discussions.
- Basic chat channels with email notifications.
- Blog comments like Disqus, with no ads and no tracking.
- Anonymous comments for feedback and embarrassing questions.
- Tags with values that you can list and sort by.
- Disagree button to see when others disagree with a comment.
Ways to run it
- Self-hosting via the talkyard-prod-one repo
- Development setup in docs/developing-talkyard.md
