Hey all! 👋 I’m Ryo, a Sr. Design Technologist at PlayStation. I do web dev with React/TS/Node and game dev with Unity/C#/C++/OpenGL/DirectX. Feel free to ask me any questions! 🤘
Very cool! 🔥 I remember being part of the IPB / vBulletin / phpBB days, all the way through Vanilla. It seems like everyone just has a Slack/Discord now, or maybe a Spectrum -- but regardless of the platform, none really achieve the success and accessibility that message boards have. Looking forward to see this platform evolve and become a standard for publication-based communities. Could easily see this being used by artists (like a DeviantArt of sorts), writing groups, lots of potential.
Yup! And not to say we've cracked the nut... Our own feeds and algorithms still need a lot of ongoing UX improvements, but asynchronous, sprawling discussions are pretty important for the web. We're trying to bring modern expectations to good ideas of old.
I’m a web developer & data visualizer working at a think tank in D.C. I'm a self-taught dev trying to better my skills. I spend most of my time on the front end of the stack.
Location

Yes!!! I learned how to code because I was part of an online writing group and I wanted to learn how to customize my profile better. That grew into developing plugins for the forum software, theming, etc. This announcement brings back a lot of nostalgia for me and I'm really excited to see what the Forem ecosystem ends up looking like with the Dev team leading the way.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
