First saw this used on https://forum.laragon.org/, and I must say, it looks pretty sleek! I like the abundance of tagging, upvoting and formatting options it provides. Customisable, clean and modern. I've been thinking of using phpBB for self-hosted use, but after witnessing NodeBB I'm not so sure!
