Platform Discussion

Convoro

This is a modern forum software that can be installed on shared hosting! Most modern forum platforms like NodeBB and Discourse need to be installed on a VPS since they require Docker to function, but this one is written in php. Though the author did use AI, so this was vibe coded. That may be a deal breaker for some people. I haven't tried this software yet, but I've thought about giving it a try. I'll drop a link for the community so you can see what it looks like from a guest point of view.
