**As it stands, there is a need for modern, well-architected, powerful forum software that is easy to use and self-host.** Thats what Flarum is. But I'm a full-time student and I don't have time to do this by myself. So I'm opening up Flarum to the world — let's build it together.

## Current State
Ive been working on a prototype for some time in-between my studies. In addition to interface design, most of my time has been spent building out the architecture: making decisions about which frameworks to use, the most effective way to componentize everything, standardizing the API, etc.
Take a look at the [live demo](http://demo.flarum.org#/1/welcome-to-the-first-public-demo-of-flarum) to see Flarum in action.
You might notice that a lot of the code is a bit of a mess right now. This is because I wanted to get things working on a superficial level in order to record material for the Kickstarter video, and since then I haven't yet had sufficient time to clean it up. Please be aware that the mess is not at all indicative of the standard that we're aiming for!
For a general overview of where Flarum is headed, read [this blog post](http://tobyzerner.com/flarum).
### Whats Done
In short, the priority at the moment is to build out a lightweight core, and only start building [Extensions](https://github.com/flarum/core/wiki/Extensions) when it is relatively stable. Below is a list of the things to work on, with links to the relevant discussion.
- [x] The basic technology stack (Laravel and Ember see above)
- [x] The [architectural foundation](https://github.com/flarum/core/wiki/Architecture) (core/API/web layers)
- [x] Some of the API (discussion and post read + write)
- [x] Discussion list view and basic search functionality
- [x] Discussion viewing and scrolling
