ForumFly is Live

Community Forums Without the Corporate Overhead

forumfly.app is now live. ForumFly is a community forum platform where users can create, join, and participate in forums with threaded discussions, moderation tools, and role-based access control. No ads, no algorithmic feeds, no corporate moderation policies written to protect ad revenue.

Threaded Discussions and Voting

Forums live and die by the quality of their conversation tools. ForumFly supports threaded replies with voting so the best contributions surface naturally. Members can start discussions, reply in context, and vote on threads and responses. The structure keeps conversations organized without flattening everything into a single timeline.

// Forum API POST /api/forums -> Create a new forum GET /api/forums/:id -> Get forum details and threads POST /api/forums/:id/threads -> Start a new thread POST /api/threads/:id/replies -> Reply to a thread POST /api/threads/:id/vote -> Upvote or downvote a thread

Moderation and Role Management

Community ownership means communities set their own rules. ForumFly provides moderation tools including content reporting, member bans, and role-based access control. Forum creators can assign moderator roles, manage membership, and review reported content. No opaque algorithm deciding what gets seen — the community runs itself.

Notifications and Member Management

Members receive notifications for replies, mentions, and forum activity. Forum admins get tools for managing membership, reviewing applications, and tracking engagement. Everything is designed to keep communities active without requiring constant manual oversight.

Stripe Billing with Flexible Tiers

ForumFly offers six paid tiers from Starter to Enterprise, giving forum operators the features they need as their communities grow. Free forums work out of the box — paid tiers unlock higher limits, advanced moderation, and priority support.

Serverless AWS Architecture

The platform runs entirely on AWS serverless infrastructure. API Gateway routes requests to Lambda functions, DynamoDB stores forum and thread data, and CloudFront serves the React frontend from S3. No servers to manage, costs scale with actual usage, and the platform handles traffic spikes automatically.

// Infrastructure stack API Gateway -> Lambda (Node.js) -> DynamoDB (forums, threads, users) CloudFront -> S3 (React SPA) Cognito -> Google OAuth CloudWatch -> Monitoring + alerts Route 53 -> SSL via ACM
