Here, you will get inspired with new ideas, collaborate with others, ask questions, seek specific advice on your projects, and explore frameworks and tools to expand your skills.

Subscribe today to follow our progress and get notified when we launch.

Is this different that what the Ruby subreddit provides?

Yes, here are some of the differences of a forum vs reddit:

* Clear structure with discussions organized by categories and tags.

* Keep discussions on-topic and reduce noise with strictly linear conversations.

* Find what you're looking for with a comprehensive, powerful advanced search.

* Conversations are broken up into individual topics, making them browsable, searchable, and readable. Built-in trust system to defend you against trolls, bad actors, and spammers.

* Forums are built for large communities, and hundreds of people can simultaneously participate.

Additionally, the forum is not intending to replace but rather complement existing platforms and community spaces. A couple of highlights on how we are planning to run it:

* Collaborating with existing communities to complement each other.

* Maintaining a long-term vision to strengthen the Ruby ecosystem.
