Looks like Flarum can do what fider does, and then more, AND has 27 votes here vs 20 for Fider.

Yeah, Flarum should be higher up the priority list, but hopefully we'll get them both one day! Both great bits of software.

A quick & easy WordPress alternative in the meantime:

Thanks, although

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates Yeah, that's open-source for you, sometimes you have to do a bit of maintenance. GPT offers the solutions to update to php8 compatibility. I posted them on their Support. I might start adopting a and publishing a few plugins when I get more time.

@jdaviescoates what made you decide not to use NodeBB or Discourse for user feedback?

[eddowding]

@robi can I turn the question around? What are the best examples you've seen of node & discourse which allow easy upvoting on ideas? eg https://orionfeedback.org/ is super-clear. https://feedback.fider.io/ is super-clear. I've not (yet) seen the same clarity elsewhere.

Thanks for making this request. I was just about to create an Application Wish for it, too. https://canny.io seems to be the non-Free, proprietary competitor, so I hope Fider is supported on Cloudron.

Fider hasn't been updated for quite a while (~2 years ago) - https://github.com/getfider/fider/releases/tag/v0.21.1

The pro version just got an update 3 days ago, and it doesn't look too bad. Lifetime deal, unlimited sites... I am thinking about grabbing a license.

Would be great to get something like this on Cloudron.

I find myself quite often wanting something like this and it's a category that is not yet fulfilled by any existing app on Cloudron (although I guess WordPress plus plugins always an option)

There has been another release since my last post too:
https://github.com/getfider/fider/releases/tag/v0.23.0

[jdaviescoates]

As of 5 days ago Fider is now on 0.25.0

https://github.com/getfider/fider/releases

Seems they are releasing every few months.

This project seems to have renewed momentum, and it would be a great addition for my Cloudron use case - please add Fider to the Cloudron app library!

[girish]

This app is published as unstable now!

[LoudLemur]

@girish Well done! Love it when we have a new application!

[marcusquinn]

@girish awesome!
