Storyden is a modern community platform that combines discussion forums, wiki-style pages, and curated collections to host and preserve community knowledge. It focuses on readable, discoverable content and a contemporary forum experience.

Key Features

  • Multi-purpose community platform combining forums, wiki pages, curated lists and directories
  • Modern tech stack with TypeScript and Go components for frontend and backend development
  • Extensible architecture allowing plugins, custom content types and curated collections
  • Content-first design emphasizing readability, tagging and auto-organization tools
  • Secure and deployable via provided container images for simple local and server deployments
  • Structured release process and developer-focused tooling for contributions and local development

Use Cases

  • Host a discussion forum and knowledgebase for an open-source project or community
  • Curate and share resource collections, link directories or topic-based lists alongside discussions
  • Run a lightweight community hub that combines blog/news, wiki documentation and forum threads

Limitations and Considerations

  • Versioning uses a non-semantic scheme and the project may introduce breaking changes between releases; review release notes for breaking changes before upgrading

Storyden is well-suited for communities that want a combined forum/wiki/curation platform with a modern UI and developer-focused stack. It is designed to be extensible and maintainable for long-term community use.
