POP Forums

A forum and Q&A application with real-time updating in multiple languages.

The main branch is now the work-in-progress for future versions running on .NET 6+. The v18.x branch is v18.x, running on .NET 6. If you're looking for the version that works on .NET Framework 4.5+ with MVC 5, check out v13.0.2.

Roadmap: The v18 release concentrates on performance and optimization, along with significant refactoring to use modern frameworks and bug fixes. Forthcoming releases will focus on UI refinement and modernization.
