Which Flarum feature do you enjoy the most?

Franz

Let's gather our favorite things about the current state of Flarum... and maybe learn about things we didn't discover yet in the meantime?

For me, it's pressing Ctrl+Enter for submitting a post - so easy. ?

Franz This likely isn't the feedback you're looking for, but the single determining feature in keeping me 'hooked' on Flarum is this community.

When I evaluate software I am potentially going to have a long term relationship with, I always spend some time on the forum to get a 'feel' for the community:
- Will I be ridiculed for asking a seemingly stupid question?
- Will I be told to piss off if I volunteer unsolicited feedback?
- Is the forum generally a nasty place to visit for the techno challenged?

A 'yes' to any of the above points means I'm off to a competing product.

Absolutely API, that I can manage my forum under command line.

ron_jeremy Haha, that's not what I expected indeed, but it surely is awesome to hear. Glad to have you on board. ?

It would be easier to say what I don't like because there are so many awesome features that I can't contain my excitement.
I mean seriously - How about the fact this is a Forum Software that I can get excited about?

But a few specific things that Flarum brings that really made me "oooh" and "aaaah" when first testing it:
- Discussion list on left hover
- Profile Bio popup on avatar hover
- In-line reply posting with live preview
- That scrolling post timeline 'O'
- Restrict by tag permissions
- Custom CSS input
- Elegant and responsive aesthetics

The problem is that every other forum I visit now feels klunky and mediocre.

Thank you, Flarum Team!

Honestly, the best feature I think Flarum has is its extensibility. It reminds me of the original pitch for Android (which is still largely true) that any feature could be replaced by a user-created app. And here again, we have Flarum defaults, like tags and mentions, but those could easily be replaced by someone building a new extension to replace them with features that are different, improved or even leaner than the original.

I like Flarum because it doesn't have too many features... I started a forum with XenForo around this time last year but there's just so many options in the admin panel. Then I ditched it and moved on to Facebook Groups.

I like the UI of Flarum. Neat and simple.

I like the Beta-Status-Feature very much ... ;-)

I like how it's modern and clean. It feels like home ? (and i now have the reflex to use CTRL+ENTER on all website... Damn).

I totally love the mentions/quotes system. The popup thing and the pulse of messages... just great.

There are surely a lot of features to be proud of when it comes to Flarum, tho the one thing that I actually do enjoy most would be how well the development team is open to the possibilities of how Flarum can be used, not only this but how open they are to the ideas of the community. Not much of a "feature" but one can say it is something to enjoy.
