Faun is a minimalistic directory-based forum and asset catalog engine for small communities. It is a self-hosting solution which can run locally or in any server environment without any hassle.
Faun works with local directory in a file system, avoiding complexity of database connections. Faun directory has a special structure-by-convention, which allows the forum to be used with no software at all: just with a file browser and any text editor supporting markdown and YAML.
The web app is made with pure HTML and CSS: no javascript. Thus, it can easily be browsed with Tor and privacy-preserving browsers. It also uses no cookies and thus avoids spam of banners and other sorts of confirmation dialogs.
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add faun
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install faun
