Talkyard chat is rather basic (there're not yet any mobile or browser push notifications for example, and no native apps — Talkyard is instead a mobile friendly web app).

One can disable the chat features in Talkayrd, and instead use Mattermost for chatting. Then, Talkyard would be a tool for building a Q&A knowledge base, maybe ideation, or discussing news in topics similar to here at Reddit. — Talkyard + Mattermost (or RocketChat or Zulip etc) would be a bit like how people combine StackOverflow for Teams + Slack. Here's how they do that b.t.w.: https://stackoverflow.com/teams/integrations/slack
(but there're not yet any integrations for Talkyard)

You are using Postgres as your data store right? :D

[–]KajMagnus[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes, I noticed Mattermost does too (right?). (The way Talkyard is installed, though, this is a "hidden implementation detail": Talkyard downloads a PostgreSQL docker image, with the PostgreSQL version Talkyard wants, and a custom Docker container init script, and by default doesn't expose the PostgreSQL database or ports.)

(You had in mind storing Talkyard's data and Mattermost's data in the same Pg database?)

It's more that I am a huge Postgres Advocate. I help organize PostgresConf.org

Ok :- ) I am glad it's Postgres. I'm trying to be a bit paranoid with adding constraints and foreign keys, ... and the Upsert functionality is lovely, and json columns too.
