Medusa Need a forum, because Discord is too difficult to use, and it is not easy to search

GH = github?

I think they need a forum program like flarum or discourse

Discussions are basically the forum function of GitHub

To often there's a focus on star count - it's a useful metric for gauging number of users familiar with a project, but it's far from the only one, and the number of stars a project has is in no way a measure of how good it is.

You are absolutely right. The best thing about star count is it allows you to understand a bit about the familiarity for devs with the project. The worst thing is, it does not tell you anything about the quality of the project πŸ˜‚

But hey, if you are up for it, then I'm happy to make a bet: If you take a 30 min spin at Medusa and does not feel the dev-exp. is top notch then I'd be the first one to sponsor any Magneto Hoodie of your choice. Otherwise, I'll need to send you a Medusa one. Up for a challenge?
