Is there a roadmap? Badges, Theme Rocket, etc?

? Offline

At least it's not like Kickstarter where vaporwear is a threat -- NodeBB is perfectly/mostly/actually very workable. If I were a roadmapper, I'd just project out to 2016 and then be assured to beat the roadmap.

Unfortunately both of those features I am kind of on the docket for XD

Actually we've been pushed back a few months feature-wise while focusing on stability and security.

We currently have NodeBB instances pushing close to 10 million pageviews per month, and a lot of the stuff we've done in the past little while has been solely focused on the ability to scale. Aside from that we've been working on a better ACP, with more analytics etc. And in general a revamped UX, which you will be seeing soon after we release 0.5.2.

The badges plugin, despite being a pretty important thing and something I'd personally really like to have was moved further up as well to accommodate for the above.

@psychobunny Can't wait to see what you guys have up your sleeves. Spoil us!

@psychobunny any updates on the badges now that we have 0.5.3. I have tested both discourse and nodebb. I have to decide soon. Any timeline ?

Discourse have badges inbuilt right?

I've bodged badges/titles into my theme and will be working on a plugin once I have a better idea what the frell I'm doing.

Here's the simple hack. Create a group that badge/title members will belong to. If a badge, assign it a Font Awesome Icon. If a title, do not.
Place a png file named for the fa tag ( example, fa-apple.png ) in your public/images folder.

It replaces the Font Awesome Icons with the badges.

Okay. This is embarrassing. I can't manage to insert an image. Here's the link to my theme topic - it's the second image.

New Theme - Titan City - Work in progress.

I have a LONG way to go here, but I thought I'd share a couple of things. A little bit of Lavender and Vanilla in a blender plus feature requirements from ...

NodeBB Community (community.nodebb.org)
