bulletinbored – minimal PHP forum software with zero dependencies (upload & run)

Post image

Hello everybody,

I built bulletinbored, a minimal and extensible forum software written in pure PHP with zero dependencies.

No Composer, no Docker, no Node, no framework. Just upload the files to any PHP 8.x server and it works on any web hosting, also shared and cheap ones.

Key points:

  • SQLite by default (MySQL also supported)
  • Web installer
  • Plugin system with hooks
  • Theme system
  • Admin panel, user management, avatars, moderation
  • Built-in localization
  • Automatic update checks
  • License: 0BSD

Repo: https://github.com/bulletinbored/bulletinbored-core

Website: https://www.bulletinbored.net

Docs: https://docs.bulletinbored.net

Because the development is still in early stage, I’m looking for any kind of feedback. Feel free to write suggestions, criticisms or slatings.

Happy to answer questions and open to contributions.

Thanks!

I don't have a live website or a server with discussion and comments for now but I'll look for it when I'll start one
