Flarum
Delightfully simple forums. Flarum is the next-generation forum software that makes online discussion fun again.
Flarum provides a lightweight, self‑hosted forum platform built with PHP and a minimal JavaScript front‑end powered by Mithril. It delivers a clean, responsive interface that works across devices without requiring complex dependencies, allowing site owners to add discussion capabilities quickly.
The software includes core features such as groups, permissions, moderation tools, and a flexible editor that supports both Markdown and WYSIWYG modes. Built‑in notifications, email digests, and optional real‑time extensions help keep community members engaged.
Flarum is extensible through a robust Extension API and a growing ecosystem of community‑maintained add‑ons, enabling custom themes, additional functionality, and integration with other services. It is released under the MIT license, maintained as a stable open‑source project, and supported by an active community that provides documentation, forums, and Discord channels for assistance.
