:hammer_and_wrench: Features Discourse Can Handle:

  1. :scroll: A Code of Conduct:

    • Discourse allows you to create pinned topics or static pages where a code of conduct can be posted and enforced. You can also automate reminders or require users to agree to terms before participating.

  2. :bust_in_silhouette: Profiles with Activity:

    • Discourse automatically generates profiles for each user, which include their activity history, such as posts, replies, and badges earned.

  3. :question: Community FAQ:

    • You can create a dedicated FAQ category or topic, which can be pinned or linked to within the navigation. The FAQ section can also be tagged and categorized for easy access.

  4. :label: Tags for Each Thread Post & Related Topics:

    • Discourse supports tagging and categorization of topics. Users can add tags to posts to make them easier to search and relate to other topics.

  5. :newspaper_roll: Weekly Articles with New Use Cases:

    • You can schedule posts or create a category specifically for weekly articles. Discourse allows embedding links and media directly in posts.

  6. :loudspeaker: Announcements with New Features Listed:

    • Discourse has a category system where you can set up an “Announcements” category. Important posts can be pinned to the top of the category or the homepage.

  7. :credit_card: Payment & Account FAQ:

    • Similar to the Community FAQ, you can create a dedicated section or topics focused on payment and account-related questions.

:card_index_dividers: Categories:

  • :rocket: Getting Started:

    • Discourse can have a “Getting Started” category or topic, where new users can find introductory information.

  • :loudspeaker: Announcements:

    • An “Announcements” category can be used for official updates and new features.

  • :sos: Help/Support:

    • A “Help” or “Support” category can be created where users can ask questions and get support from the community or admins.

  • :question: FAQ:

    • An FAQ category or topic can be established to cover frequently asked questions.

  • :computer: Product:

    • You can create a category for discussions around your product, where users can share feedback or tips.

  • :credit_card: Payments:

    • A dedicated Payments category can be created to address payment-related queries or updates.

  • :bust_in_silhouette: Account:

    • An Account category can handle discussions around user accounts, settings, and related issues.

  • :speech_balloon: Discussion Threads:

    • Discourse is built around discussion threads, so this feature is inherently supported.

:arrows_counterclockwise: Features Discourse Cannot Handle Directly (or Might Require Extensions):

  1. :construction: Early Access Program:

    • While Discourse doesn’t natively support gated access to content (like an early access program), you could potentially manage this through group permissions or an external integration.

  2. :movie_camera: 14 Videos to Get You Started with Tiny Command:

    • Discourse supports embedding videos, but it might not manage a full onboarding video series as efficiently as a dedicated LMS (Learning Management System) might. However, you could post these in a structured category or as a sequence of pinned topics.

  3. :handshake: Connect with Certified Automation Specialists:

    • While you can create a directory or post about certified specialists, direct integrations for scheduling or connecting users might require external tools or integrations.
