Can I ask what (if any) are your future plans with this? And what's the reason you decided to create it? (only to showcase web 1.0 style forums, or ... other reasons too?)

For example are you planning to provide hosting?

Continue developing the open source version and add features like spam protection? Google and FB login?

I'd been working on this on-again off-again for a while after reading Dan Luu's post on page bloat[1].

I'll provide hosting if anyone wants it. That said, ease of deployment was a major consideration right from the start. That's why I chose golang over Django/Rails and decided to offer SQLite as an option to support quick deployment for internal / low traffic sites.

Ok thanks for explaining :-)

(I've seen Dan's post me too in the past, it inspired me to try to remove lots of JS from some similar stuff I'm building.)
