Bugs/feedback welcome, I assume?

1. Bug: The "read the rules" banner link is broken. http://discuss.flarum.org/d/392/frequently-asked-questions-p...

2. Bug: Long titles overlap with tags. http://imgur.com/jFGRHtC This is on Chrome 44.0, Windows 10.

3. Feedback: The Title/Tag banner at the top of every post seems too large. 141px tall and no way to dismiss/shrink. This is especially noticeable given the bold banner colors. It's very attractive, but I keep looking for the dismiss button.

4. Bug(?): Over quota error in pusher.min.js. http://imgur.com/xmXPLaq

5. Bug: Avatar 404s. http://imgur.com/xmXPLaq (same image as previous) http://imgur.com/QkPaxr9 (discussion list broken images)

6. Feedback: Why no infinite scroll on the main page? "Load More" works fine, but seems inconsistent with the in-thread scrolling.

7. Feedback: The "move" icon on the infinite scroll scrubber seems a touch odd, because it indicates 2-dimensional motion. Maybe "ns-resize"?

With all that said, this seems very nice. It's simple from a user perspective, and it's attractively designed. It's responsive, and from a quick glance the docs look nice. I love the infinite scroll scrubber. Nice work.

Thanks for the feedback!

1. Fixed.

4. Haha, I don't want to pay for Pusher right now. Will be working on a self-hosted push solution soon.

Hey,

I work for Pusher and I have upgrade your account to a business plan for now.

We always love to help up and coming product, especially open source ones so drop me an email at sylvain@pusher.com to discuss this further. Happy to help.

This is some customer service right here, well done.

Awesome, thanks Sylvain!

Wow. This is awesome. The kind of stuff that makes me actually buy stuff from a company.

This is very kind of you and Pusher, but I have to be honest, if I'm to ever consider hosting something like this I'd like the option to be entirely self hosted and not reliant on external services.

I hear great things about Faye: http://faye.jcoglan.com/

You can also get something up an running in Go very quickly that should scale pretty well and might make deploys easy since you can just compile to binaries.

eg: https://github.com/joncalhoun/sockets is a server that just allows POSTs with a message, and relays that message to all websocket subscribers. If you use any of that code be sure to change the hardcoded key here: https://github.com/joncalhoun/sockets/blob/master/main.go#L2... (I don't use this key in prod. It was just a test one.)

You might want to take a look at Ably.io as a pusher alternative. They have a generous free plan.
