Spectrum is an open-source online community platform that combines threaded forums with real-time chat, including moderation tooling and community health monitoring. This repository is the full monorepo codebase of the Spectrum product, built with React, Node.js, GraphQL, and RethinkDB.
Use cases
- host a self-hosted community forum with real-time chat
- build an online community combining threads and chat
- run a moderated discussion platform for a developer community
- self-host a Reddit-style community with realtime features
- study a full-scale React/GraphQL production codebase
- deploy a community platform with moderation tooling
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted community platform blending forums and real-time chat
- you need threaded conversations with moderation and community health tooling
- you want a reference codebase for a large React/Node/GraphQL monorepo
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates and support
- you just want a simple forum or chat app without running a complex monorepo
- you need a lightweight embeddable library rather than a full product
- you rely on RethinkDB, which is no longer widely maintained
