We are launching Answer.dev Alpha, an open-source Q&A community software.
Being highly scalable and modern, Answer.dev is an open-source knowledge-based community software with which you can efficiently build various Q&A communities, ranging from customer support to user communication.
Having been exploring the Q&A community for over a decade, we have gained valuable experience related to community development, which we are willing to share with more organizations of various industries. Thus, we launched Answer.dev, a software incorporating both practical features and our thoughts on community products.
Answer.dev not only has the basic features to build a Q&A Platform but also has many special features to help make it easier for users to participate in community contributions such as votes, reputation, and badges, etc.
It's our sincere hope that everyone can build his own community in an easy and effective way. And step by step, we gather collective intelligence and promote industry progress!
For more details, refer to Answer.dev official website and GitHub.

Really nice tool! Congrats with the launch :)
If there will be an official instance, can you make code snippets MIT/public domain licensed by default?
It is a large problem in StackOverflow. If you copy code from StackOverflow to your open source project, the license infects your whole project. You cannot legally distribute the project in any license other than CC-BY-SA.
Thank you for your suggestion, we will consider it seriously.
