It's obviously not reskinned phpbb or diseased with 15MB of Javascript on every page, thankfully. What's it built on? What compelled you to make it? Databases? Caches? Could I run it myself?

yep it's using https://remix.run as a server-side-rendered react application and the backend API is a separate service using Python/Flaks and a MySQL database.

i've considered open-sourcing the backend so anyone could put any front-end in front of it. we'll see!

oh and what compelled me to do it is mainly because i wanted to get more comfortable with python and server-side rendered react because i wanted to try remix.

that and i was just bored lol also maybe something i can point to in interviews and say this is what i made, either hire me or don't
