Hi, I'm Linux in a Bit (https://linuxinabit.codeberg.page)

This looks pretty nice!

Just realized that worked without logging in...

That's not great

Yeah, very simple and clean, I like it!

Maybe too simple in places :)

Oh wow, just like this?

Wow, I haven't encountered this forum software before. What did you use?

There's functionally very little difference when it comes to moderation between an account or just an IP. The "verify your email" and email requirement for accounts is really just security theater

Many people don't want to register an account just to ask a simple question. The Proof of work solution (and if needs to be, a simple switch in the admin panel, hcaptcha if there are attacks / increased abuse) works just as well.

There is nothing more annoying than the current state of the legacy Internet and having to not only register an account but verify an email. Which is not stopping any dedicated attacker anyway, as there are services where you can get as many emails as you want for virtually pennies on the dollar.

In the spirit of RNS I think this is the best approach to a forum. I also plan to bridge this entirely over Nomad. The only catch being you will need to solve a PoW challenge in the browser or in the command line after you identify to the node to post :)

It's recycled from a Laravel project I had sitting on my hard drive haha. I thought I'd put it to use as a replacement to the Discussions page that existed on the Github repo. I also plan for this to be entirely bridged over RNS / NomadNet

I have to fix a few things on the mobile version though, will do that tonight

I love that you're bridging it with NomadNet! That would never happen with Discourse.
