Community
Give users a place to discuss a project, not just file a bug.
Portfolio users had no way to discuss projects or share use cases — GitHub issues were only built for bug reports.
A public deployment is available to try.
Case Study
Before
Portfolio users had no way to discuss projects, share use cases, or help each other. GitHub issues were for bugs, not community discussion.
After
Created a space for organic community building around portfolio tools. Users share creative use cases and help each other, reducing direct support requests.
How it's solved
Built a lightweight community forum with topic-based boards, threaded discussions, user profiles, and markdown-formatted posts. Integrates with portfolio projects for contextual discussions.
Trade-offs
Moderation is manual — there's no automated content filtering for a growing board.
