Cheers man. Slide your self into a PM convo with me, and I can probably sort you out :)[DOUBLEPOST=1504126689][/DOUBLEPOST]
I listed those because, if I were to pay £50, I'd rather someone make it more complicated. Give me 2 weeks and I could make forum software using this shit.
Please go away, if you have an issue - PM me. Otherwise, stop wasting my time.

Ah now i see, you're the developer who jumps on bandwagon of "javascript is the best!", you need to look at contexts. You dont need to make a server just for a forums. Assuming you know how that side of js frameworks work, node/angular/react/vue or any other similar framework, are best used for single page apps (could use tabbed layout to make it easier) and REAL TIME apps. Using those frameworks for a forums software is complete overkill, unnecessary and also a pain in the ass. The rendering code would be messy as you would most likely need to make a seperate js layouting file for every view (yes i know layouting isnt a real word but i couldnt think of anything else) making the files and structure of the project as a whole messy. PHP is more than fine for this, anything to improve on it would be to use a framework like laravel which has eloquent to make the backend development easier. As for bootstrap, he most likely (correct me if im wrong) used bootstrap as it is a user interface many users would have seen before seeming it was a industry standard (not sure if it still is) hence making it a "similar" interface where much adjustment is not needed.

Exactly right with the Bootstrap. I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for developers to make their own themes :)

Nice idea Guru Websites, it's about time Xenforo's reign in the Minecraft space comes to an end.
Why though? It works and it's established a name for itself because, well, it works. Sure it has it's problems, everything does, but it's proven itself to be one of the best forum softwares there is, which is why it's so popular.

Onto the thread itself, cool idea I guess but what's with the "Or perhaps you've just had enough of paying the extorsionate prices that come with each?" stuff? Idk about you, but I don't get tired of paying reasonable prices for software that takes a large team months and months to create because I don't have the skill or the dedication to do so. Maybe I'm the only one who likes supporting developers who work hard to offer services that are unmatched and blow the competitors out of the water, idk.

Good luck with this, interested to see how it turns out. No intentions of trashing here just giving my opinion :)

What would this include in terms of features, and what would it be written in?

A couple things here; Node isn't used to make SPAs, Node is a runtime, it is used to run JavaScript server-side. The other frameworks you listed are front-end frameworks, which you're right, can make SPAs, but I'm sure that Binner didn't mean making a SPA with Node, more on the back-end, instead of using PHP or Laravel.

And Bootstrap is a library/toolkit, it isn't a UI toolkit, sure it has some styled elements, but you can't make a complete site using only the included elements of Bootstrap. (Not a good one anyway).

Ah my bad! Thanks for clearing my knowledge up, I haven't really jumped on the javascript bandwagon yet, still being old fashioned using the DOM directly with sass. The closest i've got to using node is some of its pre installed modules on my laravel projects haha
EDIT: before someone says something, my punctuation is off by alot lmao i meant DOM with js and sass instead of direct css lol

Don't really want to release too much info about the features. And what do you mean? It'll be written in all the core web languages.

What is the back-end written in? PHP, JS, Java, could even be C# for that sakes. :p
Currently only PHP ans JS. However, I may need to dabble with Java for some functionality.

Using 3 different languages for a back-end seems a little complicated.
That will be a nightmare for anyone wanting to set it up on their server. How do you plan on packing 3 languages together?

I wish you good luck. :)
