Discussion Kit
Easy-to-set-up forum website powered by GitHub Discussions
Community forums are still one of the best ways to collect feedback, answer questions, and build discussions around a project. The problem is that most forum software comes with a lot of overhead. You need a server, a database, authentication, moderation tools, and ongoing maintenance before anyone can even create their first post.
I wanted something much simpler.
That's why I built git-forums—a SvelteKit-powered forum template that uses GitHub Discussions as the backend. If your project already lives on GitHub, you can turn its Discussions section into a fully featured forum website without setting up any additional infrastructure.
The result is a fast, static website that can be deployed directly to GitHub Pages while GitHub handles discussions, replies, user accounts, reactions, and moderation.
GitHub Discussions are powerful but rarely feel polished. What convinced you there was room for a dedicated website around them?
honestly the github integration here is pretty clever, basically turns discussions into a full forum without the usual bloat. love how lightweight it feels.
Set it up in like ten minutes using my existing repo, and the GitHub login just worked. Posts show up in both my forum and the repo's Discussions tab, which is way more useful than I expected.
A markdown editor preview toggle would be huge for drafting longer posts. Right now I have to commit and check the rendered result, which slows down my writing flow a lot.
