As a tangential point, I run a tool that lets you manage a HN style community - hellobox.co - would love for you to try it out if you like!

Just signed up! I've been annoyed with how Meetup.com is treating forums and their new "discussion" feature and I want to move communication/knowledge sharing for my local CSS Meetup to an alternative platform. Am also looking at Discourse as well.

Hi Navs. Thanks. Do let me know if you need any help! :)

Just a heads up: when I create a new community, I reach the step "Let's set up your new community". There I have some action buttons, and also I can upload a logo. When I upload the logo, a thumbnail is shown and the buttons are pushed down, and so the buttons are hidden. Also the scroll is disabled. FF 61.0.2, Win10

Otherwise, it looks really nice. Congrats!

I'm not sure if this is a bug but when I go to sign up there is a typo on Google. https://renegadeeagle.co/pics/chrome_2018-08-13_02-48-31.png

I like the idea, but maybe some screenshots or a simple demo environment would be nice. :)

Fellow Sydney person!

I can't see a pricing page.

In the FAQs it says it is currently a free service, but they plan to introduce a paid version in the future.

Thanks I couldn't open the FAQs page for some reason it took me to the home page.
