I really like textboards, I think they are some kind superior than imageboard like reddit. I really love authless applications due its simplicity and privacy centric without complication, like strong cryptography and such. I've been hosting a SchemeBBS instance over https://board.manoel.dev for the last 2 years, but MIT scheme is not my favorite Lisp and I particularly think the ecosystem is pretty limited to the application grows with the features I want. Live instance is hosted at https://board-v2.manoel.dev and now the main different feature from schemeBBS are: - persistent preferences, like themes and default board - preview of image urls (that's kind crossing textboard concepts, but pretty useful — no image host anyway) - admin page for content moderation - search system I would like feedback of any kind, thank you for your attention until here.
