Hello!
Last year at pgconf.dev there was a discussion about improving the
user interface for the hackers mailing list. Based on that discussion,
I would like to share a small project we have been working on for some
time:
https://hackorum.dev/
Hackorum provides a read-only (for now) web view of the mailing list
with a more forum-like presentation. It already includes a number of
useful features, such as:
* continuous mailing list synchronization (the site is subscribed to the list)
* commitfest integration (synchronized once per day)
* per-message read status for logged-in users
* user profiles, including contributor/committer status from the main website
* statistics
* additional logged-in user features (starring threads, tags, notes,
mentions on messages and threads)
* basic team support (sharing reading status, mentioned tags and notes)
* integrating the "resend email" feature from the official archive
* importing read status / tags from CSV files (to help migration from
email based workflows)
And the main features we plan to implement in the near future:
* sending emails using the web ui (initially using the gmail api for
users logged in with their google account, who also separately
authorized sending messages)
* advanced search functionality
* integrating other mailing lists
At this stage, we are mainly interested in feedback: whether this is
useful at all, and if you have suggestions on how it could be improved
(bug fixes, new features, changes in behavior, etc.). Contributions
are of course also welcome; we have tried to make the development
setup easy to work with:
