Beware! FlatBoard will upload your private images to imgur making them public - despite running the software on a local machine.
There is nothing in their documentation to indicate this action, or any chance to opt out, and store images locally, and thus a worrying oversight, and serious breach of privacy.
A troubling oversight. Proceed using this software with extreme caution.
I would like to use this post to express my admiration to the developer.
I could hardly believe it when I came across "Flatboard". Someone has developed a "forum" as a flat file system - really?!? A CMS or any other system without a database and with a high volume of content, this was practically impossible to achieve with a flat file system. It was all the more surprising to me that this forum worked and that it was excellent.
Unfortunately, it is sad that the forum lacks awareness - I, who I have a lot to do with CMS and also develop small things myself, have never heard or read of Flatboard.. That's a real shame, because it would be an excellent choice, especially for smaller communities.
I am excited to see when the first person dares to implement a social network CMS in FlatFile. 😂😆😂
Good luck for the future and please stay tuned. Do not let this successful project die - it is so beautifully unique and simply a great idea that also takes courage.
Best regards from Germany,
