Flarum 是一个基于 Laravel 框架的轻论坛，由 Toby 开发并维护。

Toby 曾经开发了 php 非常简洁的论坛程序 esoTalk。esoTalk 非常好，但是它没有构建在一个可持续发展的基础上。因此去年他决定放弃 esoTalk，转而开发 Flarum。

基于此，我们需要一个现代的，优雅的，简洁的，强大的论坛软件，并且易于使用和托管。 这就是 Flarum。但我是一个全职学生，我没有足够的时间独立完成这个项目。于是我将采用开放协作的方式来开发 Flarum —— 让全世界的开发者一起开发 Flarum。

开发理念

I have a vision for Flarum — one that has grown over years of playing with forums, developing esoTalk, and learning from mistakes. It is captured by the following four points:

• Modern design. Beautiful, clean, customizable. Forum design hasn’t evolved with the rest of the web; let's finally bring it up to speed.
• Unopinionated feature-set. Every community is different, and forum software should be able to adapt to — rather than define — how a community is run. As such, Flarum will have a lightweight core, and most features will be implemented as optional extensions.
• High performance. Flarum should perform well on scales big and small, and on a large range of devices.
• Sustainable architecture. Flarum should be built for the future, on a strong foundation which can evolve with the technologies that power it.
