About Flarum
Flarum is a discussion platform for websites that need a forum. It is built to be fast and simple, with no clutter, no bloat, and no complex dependencies, so it is quick to deploy and straightforward to run for communities of all sizes.
The back end is written in PHP, while the interface is powered by Mithril, a JavaScript framework with a small footprint. The layout is designed to be consistent and intuitive across desktop and mobile out of the box, so members get a responsive experience without extra setup.
Flarum's architecture centers on a flexible Extension API, letting you customize, extend, and integrate the forum to fit a particular community. You host it yourself, and it is distributed as free software under the MIT License.
