    postmarketOS and Arch wiki? That’s very weird, aren’t both plain mediawiki? Works really well on my Firefox. Even works on SeaMonkey.

    EndeavourOS/Manjaro forum probably uses Discourse… I don’t get why people like that forum software :/

      feature packed with a really clean and user friendly UI + each distro can easily customize it to add lots of their own brand identity (Manjaro especially appreciates this).

      I don’t have a problem with it not loading correctly, and it loads quickly even on somewhat slow internet (using Firefox).

        it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

        this is personal preference but the ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

        Forum software is like exactly what raw html/css was made for, i don’t understand the need for slow js bloat

      I don’t either. It hates minority browsers even more than Cloudflare does, doubles down on this by using unnecessary bleeding-edge Javascript constructs, and every instance of it I’ve ever seen looks ugly as hell.
