Misago

Misago is an open source, Python-based forum system designed for speed and modern web standards.

About Misago

Misago is a forum software built with Python and Django, focused on providing a fast and user-friendly experience. It handles real-time updates, user notifications, and permissions out of the box, making it a solid choice for community-driven sites.

The software supports Markdown for posts, includes built-in user ranks and moderation tools, and uses PostgreSQL for storage. It integrates with Redis for caching and task queues. The front end uses a responsive Bootstrap 4 theme, and the codebase is fully open source under GPLv3.

Misago is maintained by Rafal Pito (rafalp) and has been in development for several years. It is ideal for self-hosted communities that want a Python-based alternative to PHP forums like phpBB or Discourse. Deployment works on Linux servers with Python 3.8+, PostgreSQL, and a standard web server setup.
