which are of low value.
I'm not sayin' you have to look at Discourse, but the people who made it
actually thought of this stuff. It may not agree with you, but it tries to
do context and threading right, and uses a lightweight markdown-based editor
with real-time preview.
It isn't your traditional "bb" clone.
