About Talkyard
Talkyard is an open source forum and commenting platform that can be embedded into existing websites or run as a standalone community hub. It replaces services like Disqus while giving you full control over the data and moderation. The software combines threaded discussions, a knowledge base, and voting features in one package.
Talkyard supports single sign-on with OAuth providers including Google, Facebook, and GitHub. You can host it on your own Linux server using Docker, or use their cloud plan. It includes anti-spam tools, a trust levels system for users, and email notifications. The backend is written in Scala and TypeScript, using PostgreSQL as the database.
The project is maintained by the company Debiki and is available under the AGPL license for self-hosters. Its audience includes bloggers, documentation sites, and small communities who want a self-hosted discussion layer without third-party trackers.
