GitHub Discussions
Threaded forums attached to your repos; the lowest-friction community home for open-source projects.
Q&A with accepted answers, polls, announcements, and categories, living next to the code and issues your users already navigate, with no extra accounts or moderation surface to stand up. Threads convert to issues when they turn into work, and content gets indexed by search engines. The lowest-friction forum for an open-source project.
