          Some say the Hyphen was created by God
          Some say it has existed since time immemorial
          Others say the real Hyphen was the friends we made along the way

            @Nauraushaun It's built on some sort of forum backend called NodeBB

            The person reading this is a doo-doo head

                  @Nauraushaun It was me that started it, definitely had some help from @Jb-boin and @nickhasanexocet on the backend. Nickel tour - it started as a nodebb forum which runs on Node.JS with nginx as a web server on Ubuntu 20 with a MongoDB backend.

                  All this is running on an AWS instance at the moment as well.

                    Some say he once built an entire forum in one day. Others say he has his subtitles set to 1s and 0s. All we know is he's not Jminer, but he is Jminer's software developer cousin!

                          I'm also curious as to how much power we have over the UI. Does NodeBB let us like, skin it? Or just adjust certain things? Or have we got absolute power..

                              I know it's definitely too cynical and ironic, but a part of me thinks it'd be cool if it looked like circa-2012 Kinja or something. Herb would probably find some way to sue that out of existence, but what a concept that'd be!

                                It would be neat to see a version of Kinja that included all the best features it offered over the years. Like image annotations, or the ability to load ALL comments instead of 5 measly comment threads at a time.

                                  It’s a mix of all three. There are skins available (as well as we could develop one), some things are adjustable, there’s an embedded tool in the management UI that lets us inject CSS or JS functions as well as in theory changeable in all forms as it’s open source and not obfuscated.

                                    @jminer it is an actively developed platform still though so it’s unlikely we’ll do the last options there as it would be likely to wreak havoc upon an upgrade.

                                        @nauraushaun their names are @jminer, @Jb-boin and @nickhasanexocet. They're not the developers we deserve but they're what Oppo needed.
