luceos you just know that anything @luceos is party to is going to be first class 👍

[deleted] thank you for your support Mark!

I'm hoping we can offer something of real value to the community.

luceos I know you will

luceos Not at first. We'll be looking at our options once we are happy with our basic offering. But already we have been considering what to do with that because obviously we do want to allow this.

For me personally, customizing a forum is the most fun and I could never live without my own extend.php or even better my own extensions. But thinking about this freedom, I see potential problems arising when it comes to updates of Flarum. My own customisations (and even custom CSS) need to be tested before going life, and if you change the version of Flarum, my adaptations need to become effective at exactly the same time.

I am aware. And we are talking about solutions. We set up a pipeline to get quality and well tested releases out onto our platform. This process is flexible enough to allow the level of customization you speak of without losing the quality control. However, this won't be an option from the get-go.

tolgaaaltas what exactly are you talking about?

hero-unit isn't translated correctly on this page in Turkish.

IKCU Atatürk Eğitim Ve Araştırma Hastanesi Bilgi İşlem Arıza Bildirim Uygulaması
This line specifically mentioned to a hospital in Turkey.

luceos talking about Blomstra's Helpdesk page.

luceos

tolgaaaltas cool thanks for that.

meezaan

tolgaaaltas Can you please check again? Translations have been updated - if not, we'll raise an issue / PR in the Zammad repo accordingly. Thank you.

Evening, that's great news!

Are there any estimates of availability date?

luceos

aaronlbpeterman not right now, we're doing our best to reach the Seedling period as soon as we can.

Interested to see what the initial pricing looks like.

Also how will paid extensions work? If we bought something from extiverse?

We haven't decided on the final pricing yet. But our initial plan - without discounts - will be approximately $ 59 a month. With a yearly price of around 11 times that. This plan offers 20 active users and 10 GB disk storage, fully redundant, scalable and with excellent performance.

We are considering lower tiers later on this year, but it requires some work on our end and will probably make some things shared; queue runners and a database for example.

We're looking into that 😉

Hi, I registered for it using github and I had a 500 error. When I went back to the home page seems like it registered alright so not an issue, just to inform you.

Thanks!

luceos

arteteco that's odd, your registration seems successful anyhow though. I'll do some testing, but if anyone else runs into the same issue, please let me know 🙂

meetdilip thank you!

tolgaaaltas

Interesting indeed! I’ve signed up as my community with up to 600 posts per day/200 concurrent users online is suffering a bit performance-wise 🙂
