# Welcome to ThreadR
This is the source code for ThreadR Forum Engine. It originated as a school project with the goal of developing a mix between a forum engine and a social media platform. When school was over, we left the project up for some time with the general intention to continue working on it until I took it down after an extended period of inactivity to host my own website on my server.
Now, that it is being revived, the original scope of the project doesnt really make sense anymore (at least to me) so it needs to shift slightly. Below is a list of goals that I would like to see achieved, feel free to discuss this in the issues or commit comments.
- [ ] come back online (see issue #2)
- [ ] go FOSS (make the source code publicly available under a FOSS license (see issue #5) and preferably usable for everyone to host an instance)
- [ ] get generic forum functionality going (creation of boards, creation of threads within boards, messages)
Once these two are given, here are some additional goals both from the original scope of the project any my own ideas. Input is welcome.
- [ ] anonymous posts (users can choose to post anonymously, registered users will have a unique name per thread to tell users apart)
- [ ] subscribing to threads
- [ ] "split thread here" feature (kinda like on Reddit when multiple ppl answer to one person)
- [ ] automatic loading of new messages in threads (opt-out in settings)
- [ ] notifications for new messages in subscribed threads (opt-out in settings)
- [ ] question threads with an "accept answer" feature, threads can be marked as question threads on creation
- [ ] like/dislike feature but in better (as in more limited in functionality and more nuanced, kinda like on StackExchange but with two types of likes/dislikes and without showing an actual number)
