simple_discussion gem vs. discourse for lightweight forum

DanInBC asked in Gems / Libraries

Just checked out the simple_discussion gem (extracted from the GoRails forum here). It looks like exactly what I need for a small forum project.

I'm wondering if anyone else has used the gem in production on Heroku and with a CDN such as Cloudfare, and could comment on any specific issues you may be having, or have had.

Also - I am aware of Discourse and while it works well for many use cases, I would rather avoid such a heavy duty solution as I only need simple, clean and lightweight functionality.

It's really simple, so you won't have any issues with it on Heroku or Cloudflare. There's no Javascript or anything to worry about.

Great, thanks Chris!
