Better better better idea. Write software that works so we can use it.
Sounds like pointless work. Why would I bother? Forum systems that work already exist, for free, the fact we aren't already using one is seemingly a comment on our slavish adherence to having the absolutely most crappy software that we could possibly have.
I could actually give a bit of a pass to Jeff on this, as he seems to think that making a new piece of forum software with infiniscrolling will allow him to police away "nastiness" on the internet. Discourse™ is part of his grand plan, his arme de guerre, the thing he has built an entire delusion around. It's a shit sandwich, but it's a shit sandwich with a purpose.
@julianlam's nodeBB doesn't get that free pass. There's no grand plan. Just a "make a forum platform using super hip cool groovy technology rather than fuddy-duddycrappy old PHP". But what they've made is just another usability and security shit sandwich, and they don't even seem to care. Because it's got "modern mobile-first responsive design".
Well, you know what?
You can shove your modern, mobile-first responsive design right up your fucking arse and leave it there until you actually have software that works properly.
Anyway.

I suggested @tufty should do it. For us. For free. And then we could install it, see what a piece of shit it is and beach about it
I just got back from the beach. Didn't see any shit there, but it was extremely windy - maybe it blew away.

And so the only thing @tufty could do to get rid of our damning looks and extremely hurtful words would be to kill himself.
Not true. I could, for example, ban you all from my bug tracking system, and suggest that you migrate off it. Or I could just laugh.
The latter, I'm already doing. But only at you.
