What is it?

Storyden is a community platform for running forums, blogs, news feeds, link directories and knowledgebases from one application. It is positioned as a modern take on traditional bulletin board forum software, aiming to combine discussion threads with wiki-style and structured content.

The project is written in Go and is designed to be deployed by running a Docker image, with the default instance served on port 8000. Its stated goals are a modern codebase, simple deployment, stronger security than older forum software, and a polished interface.

Storyden suits teams or hobby communities that want discussion, shared links and structured knowledge in one place, rather than separate tools for each.
