Welcome to Word of Mouth

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.
