Chat: Fix message duplication by removing optimistic UI for sent messages 
- Remove optimistic message rendering that was causing duplicates
- Messages now only appear after server broadcast confirmation
- Simplify appendMessage() to check for existing message IDs and prevent duplicates
- Remove message delivery status indicators (sending/sent/failed)
- Add user alert when attempting to send while disconnected

This fixes the issue where messages appeared twice - once as an optimistic
temporary message and again when the server broadcast was received.

Welcome to ThreadR Rewritten

This is the source code for the ThreadR Forum Engine, rewritten in Go. ThreadR is a free and open-source forum engine designed to allow users to host their own forum instances on personal web servers.

Project Overview

ThreadR was originally started as a school project in 2019 with the aim of creating a hybrid between a forum and a social media platform. It was built with PHP and (back then still) MySQL. After we finished school, it was temporarily abandoned. An attempt was made to revive it in 2020, open-sourcing the code and making some things configurable, but not much else happened. Here we are now, with a full rewrite in Go started in 2025.

Project Setup

This is for development only. Currently, ThreadR is not ready for production use.

Prerequisites

  • UNIX-like OS
  • Go (golang)
  • Mariadb

Setup Steps

  1. Create a mariadb user and database for ThreadR (the names can be changed):
CREATE USER threadr IDENTIFIED BY 'super secure password';
CREATE DATABASE `threadr`;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `threadr`.* TO 'threadr';
  1. Create a config file: In the config subdirectory, cp config.json.sample config.json and edit it to suit your needs.
  2. Create an about page: Also in the config subdirectory, cp about_page.htmlbody.sample about_page.htmlbody and edit it to suit your needs.

Running the Application

After configuration, run the following command once to initialize the DB:

go run main.go --initialize

To start the ThreadR server, run this:

go run main.go

The server will start on port 8080 by default.
