To each their own, of course, but there was a long discussion of
discourse here a while ago. I tried it out, but it was like a bad
version of a mailing list. It sent me a mail informing me that there
were messages to read. Then I had to go there and read the messages on
the web, using their interface.
I have used Discourse and yes it does behave pretty much like a webforum from 90s.
So much better than just getting the message directly into my chosen
mail client! (/sarcasm) It probably works well for those who are
addicted to the web, and check their phone every few minutes; it
fits with their work style, plus they get affirmation. But I don't
fit that template, so I wasn't enamored.
If forced to, I could probably use it, but I prefer the push model
to the pull model. That is, it isn't an improvement for me, it doesn't
buy me anything I want.
Exactly this. While swanky it really does nothing new but takes away accessibility since
there will be a gazillion email notifications which in and of themselves are useless. With
a mailing list I can just reply directly instead of having to switch to a different
interface.
This just adds a step and forces me to use a particular client.
I realized now that this mail sounds really negative. To add nuance: great suggestion and
I'm all for changing things if the new things solves the problem better than the old
things. Discourse however, doesn't seem to do that.
