Talkyard Alternatives
Talkyard is described as 'Create a forum for your co-workers, students, volunteers, contributors, users, and community. Use Talkyard for: 1. Your non-profit. Listen to those you help, and your volunteers. 2. Your students. Answer their questions. Let them help each other' and is a Q&A Service in the Social & Communications category. There are four alternatives to Talkyard for a variety of platforms, including Online / Web-based, Self-Hosted solutions, Python, Django and iPhone. The best alternative is Stack Overflow. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Scoold or AskBot.
- Stack Overflow, part of Stack Exchange, is a free, community-driven, reputation-based Q & A site for computer programmers. No membership is required to ask questions or provide answers to questions by others.
- Free Personal • Proprietary
- Online
- Android
- iPhone
- Scoold is inspired by StackOverflow and implements most of its features. You can ask and answer questions, upvote and downvote posts, earn badges and reputation. Each edit creates an new revision, making it easy to follow the history of edits. Scoold is optimized for the cloud.
- Askbot is a Q&A system, like StackOverflow, Yahoo Answers and some others. Askbot is based on code of CNPROG, originally created by Mike Chen and Sailing Cai and some code written for OSQA. Askbot is open-source and can be self-hosted for free; hosting plans are paid.
- OSQA is the free, open source Q&A system you've been waiting for. Your OSQA site is more than just an FAQ page, it is a full-featured Q&A community. Users earn points and badges for useful participation, and everyone in the community wins.
