Ask HN: I'm building a forum engine with Django, any advice?

6 points by nyddle 11y ago ↗ HN

To brush up my Python/Django skills (and given the sorry state of python forum software), I've set out to build a modern forum engine. Would love to hear any suggestions/advice on what to bring to the table.

Thank you. I was initially evaluating against this list https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/forums/ but it seems there are some hidden gems like https://github.com/rafalp/misago that somehow didn't get on the list.
