Which forum along with create-t3-app?
Hi everyone, I am building a website, centered around a niche community, using the create-t3-turbo stack, and I am looking for suggestions on which forum software to use. I am considering options like Discourse, NodeBB, and Flarum, but I am open to other suggestions as well.
Discourse has an API, so in theory one could build a frontend for it in NextJS, but I'm not sure the developer experience, nor the final product would be worth it. But I am put off by the idea of using plain Discourse, as I might have to learn EmberJS and Ruby on Rails.
I am interested in hearing about your experiences with these or other forums, and any concerns or challenges you have faced when using them with a Next.js application. Thank you in advance for your input and advice.
Website features outline:
* News aggregate
* Users (And a subscription service)
* Calendar with upcoming events
* Games in the vein of Fantasy Football
* Statistics and projections
* And of course, the big one: A discussion forum
Bonus question: Do you think a website like this is best served with create-t3-app or Astro?
Thanks a ton!
