Just pulling this back up - microcosm, the forum system I'm using for Espruino, is shutting down in March because the UK's Online Safety Act makes it a nightmare for the one person that currently runs it to comply. More info at https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/401475/
So I'm going to have to migrate to a new forum, one that I don't host (or I'll fall foul of the OSA too).
Right now, the obvious choice appears to be GitHub Discussions and looking back I think the general consensus is it's ok? Maybe not ideal for those that dislike Microsoft/GitHub but it's probably better privacy-wise than most other forums systems that'll insert a bunch of ads.
In the new year I'll look at trying to export the contents of the forum - I'm not 100% sure how I'll handle users but maybe I can get compile a list of forum users -> current GitHub usernames so at least for those users I can keep the ownership of posts the same.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
