Harmony theme and user engagement

[sweetp]

This may be just a coincidence. But since updating to NodeBB v3.beta.2 on my production server user engagement has improved.

Harmony is a vast improvement over the v2 default theme in my opinion. I’m really enjoying the new UI. I also have the impression that v3 runs slightly faster than b2, but I have no real data. Regardless, NodeBb v3 + Harmony theme is a super nice upgrade. Looking forward to the final release.

Thanks for all the hard work guys!

@sweetp I wouldn't use this in a production environment as it's still in beta. Very stable, but still beta nonetheless.

@phenomlab thanks for your concern, but I make database backups 2x daily. Also my community is not super large.

Ive been running it without issue since v3.beta.2 came out

Thanks for the kind words @sweetp, it would be interesting to do some isolated studies on sites running v2, who plan to upgrade to v3, and see if some crucial metrics change (e.g. time on site, number of navigations, etc.)

@julian count me in. Sudonix.com will be upgrading to 3.x from 2.x as soon as it's ready for release.
