This forum now is a full PWA and supports webpush thanks to this nice extension.
What's still missing are dynamic updates, but sadly the only FOSS Flarum extension for that is apparently not quite complete. If anyone wants to help the dev out with that, this would be really great.
Furthermore, you will soon be able to login with your F-hub.org account, similar to the current Github/Gitlab/Discord login buttons. I just need to finish the custom module for it.
To supplement this, we will soon make it easier to sign up on F-hub.org.
And the Loomio group forums also support using your F-hub.org account already and we plan to open up email signup to allow guest accounts more easily (currently they are invite only). We hope that this will make these hosted forums a bit more attractive to external projects that are still on the old forum 🤐
Last but not least we temporarily disabled the previous bottom right chat widget as we need to properly finish the extension for it instead of hacking a Discord widget and also figure out why it currently fails with a mixed http/https error. Help appreciated.
P.S.: The main Flarum developers got an NLnet grant this year to add ActivityPub federation to Flarum 2.0. This is similar to how NodeBB and Discourse now have basic AP support. It will still take some time as version 2.0 is only planned for mid 2025 though. Might be interesting to enable here as well if it works well. Lets see 😊
Edit: I forgot to mention that we added a better GDPR compliance extension some months ago.
