Simple, fast and free.

We empower people and companies to connect intellectually and emotionally through online communities, by providing a technically excellent, open and extensible discussion platform.

People are at the heart of every community

Their interaction is the foundation of culture, debate and love. We create an engaging and appealing application that puts healthy debate and discussion at the forefront, while ensuring privacy and self-ownership of content. This stimulates the social interaction which is key in vibrant online communities of any size.

Tailored to meet the community needs

At the core, Flarum offers the bare minimal functionalities which helps us to ensure a more stable and lightweight product needed to build online communities (focussing on the Simple and Fast ideology of our ethos) but through its extensible architecture a community can be expanded to grow into a feature rich platform to suit the requirements of any kind of community.

“Open” carries the future

Publishing Flarum under an OSI compliant license guarantees not only the survival of our project but also increases trustworthiness, adaptability, development speed and adoption. Our transparent nature carries over into how we manage the project by offering transparency of funds, operations and development through blog posts, OpenCollective and transparent disclosures.
