Open-source community discussion platform

Discourse is an open-source community platform founded in 2013 by Jeff Atwood, Robin Ward, and Sam Saffron, built to power structured, long-form online discussion. The platform combines threaded forums, real-time chat, and private messaging in a single, self-hostable application licensed under GPL-2.0. Discourse is used by more than 22,000 communities worldwide, including organizations such as OpenAI, Mozilla, and NVIDIA, and is available as managed hosting or as a self-hosted installation. The company, Civilized Discourse Construction Kit, Inc., generates revenue through hosted plans and enterprise contracts while maintaining the full codebase as open source.
