I think this article hits on a lot of the reasons we felt there was a need for dev.to in the world in the first place.
I also could never get over the UI of phpBB etc. However, we draw a lot of inspiration for dev.to from basic forums of yesteryear. The web has evolved passed those as the central communication forum in terms of design and user experience, but there is a warmth that was lost.

We are also an open source project and will at some point in 2019 release features which will allow people/organizations to stand up their own instances of this platform for different interests. I've been really into baking lately and I'd love to stumble upon the dev.to for baking. 🧁

Open source is trending up, monolithic social media and data hoarders are trending down.
