DiscussionBridge Public Docs
DiscussionBridge is a family of focused tools built around The Bridge, its Discourse-powered flagship. The current Alpha connects Astro, Ghost, Hugo, Statamic, and WordPress through one Bridge contract and demonstrates Discourse as a publishing source across those platforms.
Start with the Versions And Live Status page for the exact packages, live profiles, demo destinations, and current acceptance boundary. Follow the Alpha Installation and Operator Guide for the current end-to-end install/configure/test/rollback sequence, use Platform Profiles for each adapter’s real execution boundary, and compare the three choices in Presentation Modes. Explore the working product at the Demo chooser or open The Bridge.
The current public release candidate is DiscussionBridge 0.2.0-alpha.19. Its six product repositories are available through ordinary GitHub clone URLs:
- The Bridge — DiscussionBridge for Discourse
- DiscussionBridge for Astro
- DiscussionBridge for Ghost
- DiscussionBridge for Hugo
- DiscussionBridge for Statamic
- DiscussionBridge for WordPress
- DiscussionBridge Adapter Protocol
Each repository’s v0.2.0-alpha.19 tag and GitHub prerelease identify the
immutable sandbox candidate. The main branches are the ongoing public source;
exact commits and artifact hashes remain visible for support and compatibility
reporting.
This repository contains the public product and operator documentation.
Good fits:
- Demo plans.
- Architecture notes.
- Discourse setup notes.
- Discourse field notes from real integration testing.
- Cloudflare deployment notes.
- Product notes that explain the public shape of the integration.
- Product build/launch checklists that track Alpha readiness and roadmap progress.
- Contribution and support process docs.
- Public roadmap items.
Keep commercial strategy, pricing, services positioning, and private brand planning outside this repo.
