Word of Mouth is the first ever instance of Lumoforum. It is named that because it was vibecoded in 30 minutes with Lumo (Proton's AI assistant). I wanted to setup existing software but they were either ugly, had a complicated installation process, or both. So I turned to AI and to my surprise it worked and looks good as well.
The index.php is 500 lines of code. In terms of features it's sort of a cross between Kareha and Reddit. Kareha is an anonymous textboard, that's where the simple form-based posting comes from that doesn't require account creation. But unlike Kareha it has user-created communities. Obviously this is a work in progress but the fun part is that I can extend it to my liking.
Happy posting.

Planned features:
- Single level comment indentation.
- Democratic spam filtering mechanism.
# Update
- The communities are now shown as simple links instead of buttons and they have a tilde prefix.
- Image links are now directly embedded.
- Minor cosmetic change: there is now only one separator line between a post and the comment section (was two).
More planned features:
- post editing
- some separation between canonical and non-canonical communities. So they can still be user-created but the junk ones don't litter the canonical list.
More planned:
- RSS feeds
- logo + favicon.ico
- Bigger subject lines
- Some type of account system mayhap (but optional)
