I've found my SQL knowledge to be lacking, so I made a project that uses SQLite as a backend.
As it is intended for self-hosting I aim to make it easy to set up and maintain. Getting it up & running takes no more than a few commands (bar setting up a proxy such as nginx, which is out of scope).
I've set up a "demo" site at https://forum.agreper.com/ if you want to try out the UI.
I miss the days of good ole forum software (e.g. FluxBB/PunBB) before it was superseded with massive JS bloat/clunky forum software like Discourse, Flarum, etc.
I commend you for hand rolling it all and not using JS. I miss the days of good ole forum software (e.g. FluxBB/PunBB) before it was superseded with massive JS bloat/clunky forum software like Discourse, Flarum, etc.
I also commend demindiro on not requiring JS. It is refreshing to see simple yet useful applications.

I hate forums which indent replies and don’t support collapsing sub-threads.
The proper way of handling replies is to post them under each other and support quoting.

Ohh I miss the good old days of forums in general. I find all this new software, where conversions* are "threaded" stupidly hard to read. Even worse, when the software is trying to recommend to you, what to read. Back in the day you had a thread, every post to that thread was chronologically added to that thread and in case you wanted to reply to someone, you quoted them... sigh EDITED: *conversations
I dislike forums which indent successive replies. I hate forums which indent replies and don’t support collapsing sub-threads. The proper way of handling replies is to post them under each other and support quoting.
[-] should collapse subthreads. Caveat is that the browser doesn't remember which subthreads were collapsed due to no-JS.
