Yes, so looking forward to trying it out! Plan to move our 6000+ designer community out of slack and was looking at Circle.

However, DEVs customized features have me more excited. I like that I can build a standalone native-like community platform using Forem, instead of another "a community on XYZ platform with community switcher".

I haven't explored all features yet to ask for new ones, but as long as you have a good zapper integration, my life as a non developer would be much easier ✨

I think being open source is going to be the key differentiator between us, circle, and everything in-between.

Every component of Forem is up for scrutiny and open development.

Absolutely Ben! That's what has me super excited too! :)

Just to confirm, is the open source version already something I could start building with? πŸ‘€

Same question, super excited for Forem and have been deciding between Circle as well. However I am a non-dev so not sure how complicated it will get with the setup and maintenance.

Absolutely Ben! That's what has me quite excited about Forem!

To confirm, is the open source Forem something I can clone and start building with?
