Hello 👋,
We are Floxum, three people who found each other through Flarum.
Bart operates the equine community Bokt.nl since 2001. This experience has made him a master in many affairs, from hosting to database optimization, and well into community management and entrepreneurship. He enjoys biting into complex problem solving challenges.
Meezaan is an IT engineer you put in leadership positions to make seemingly overwhelming operations happen, like the migration of Giffgaff to Flarum. But he also operates the Islamic Network for over 13 years, which grants him the technical know-how to architect and build highly scalable environments from scratch. His current endeavors in Floxum and Bahriya Cloud are the proof of his expert abilities.
I am Daniël, most of us will known me by my username Luceos. I've been part of the Flarum community since 2015 and held many roles inside the Flarum team, from moderator to core developer, from project manager to foundation chairman. When Toby stepped down in 2019 I stepped up to steer Flarum into the v1.0 era. Along the way I played with an extension index called Extiverse, and later co-founded Blomstra to offer excellent, scalable managed hosting for Flarum. Earlier this year I decided to fully step down in the Flarum organisation, which allows me to put all my effort in Floxum.
What is Floxum?
Services
Extensions
We have consistently been contributing to the Flarum ecosystem for years. Extensions that found their origin in our hands include Byōbu, Upload, User Directory, Masquerade, and many more. And we recently donated our premium extension Realtime to the core team.
Payments is a premium extension we have been working on for a long time. It allows you to hook Stripe payment features directly into your Flarum community.
To celebrate our Floxum launch, we are offering a 50% discount on the Payments extension!
The extension had to be republished under the Floxum name, and is now called floxum/payments. Subscriptions from Blomstra Payments have been carried over without losing access to the original extension.
Discord
Especially for extension developers, but anyone who wants to join is welcome, we are re-opening our Discord server to the public.
Do you already have premium extensions published? Then please hop on to get your role. We will use a dedicated channel to discuss features and ideas for the marketplace going forward.
One more thing
Every interaction with Floxum is with a human. When you reach out with a question, a problem or an idea, you get one of us! People who have been using, building and thinking about Flarum for years. No bots, no AI support pipelines, no ticket systems that swallow your message and spit out a template. Just people who know what they are talking about and care about getting it right.
Thanks for reading 🙇♂️
@BartVB, @meezaan and @luceos
