New Projects
On behalf of
@buildteam I would like to introduce you to TokenBB. We are open-sourcing our frontend to allow outside developers to contribute code, design and translations.
Our Story
The TokenBB project is currently in its public alpha phase and we are
accepting forum registrations. Forum owners have the option to install custom themes and brand their forum, but designing a theme blindly is hard. To give them an environment where they can try out their design live, we have decided to open source the frontend part of tokenbb. We plan to regularly post bounties that outside contributors can work on and will reward contributions.
The frontend
TokenBB is written as a Vue.js application, interfacing with the BuildTeam API.
It features our
newly released markdown editor and a project structure that is standard for Vue.js applications.
A test forum can be viewed at:
https://test.tokenbb.io/Roadmap
The current version of TokenBB is in an alpha stadium. Themes are still very crude and bland and hard-coded. Admin functionality is rough and usability can be improved, as seen by the feedback we are getting from our test users:
https://test.tokenbb.io/?category=suggestionThemes
We plan to offer a variety of themes for TokenBB and welcome design contributions of any kind. The theme selection infrastructure is very crude at the moment and improvements are planned. Forum owners can create their own design and contribute to the available pool.
User Experience
There are many small improvements that can be done to enhance UX and we plan to listen to user feedback and welcome contributions that fix user problems. We will post task requests about prominent issues that many users are passionate about.
