Modern, feature‑rich forum platform built with Django and React
Misago delivers a complete, customizable forum solution with robust moderation, OAuth login, GDPR tools, and a flexible permission system, all powered by Django and a React front‑end.
Misago is a full‑stack forum solution that combines a Django back‑end with a React front‑end. It offers essential community features such as user registration, avatar handling, private threads, polls, and best‑answer marking, while supporting both GitHub‑flavoured Markdown and BBCode.
The project ships with Docker‑based development utilities (./dev init) that build containers, install dependencies, and run migrations, making local setup straightforward. Administrators can fine‑tune registration flows with email activation, reCAPTCHA, and IP blacklists, and leverage a granular permission system to control access per role or category. Misago also provides OAuth integration for over 50 providers, a JSON API for external integration, and a Bootstrap‑based theming layer. Future enhancements include a GraphQL API, plugin architecture, and a WYSIWYM editor, positioning Misago as a scalable choice for modern online communities.
When teams consider Misago, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Tech community with multi‑provider SSO
Members log in via Google, GitHub, or Steam, reducing friction and centralizing authentication.
Moderated Q&A site
Admins use edit logs, best‑answer marking, and moderation queues to maintain high‑quality content.
Corporate intranet forum with GDPR compliance
Custom data‑processing agreements and user‑data controls keep the forum aligned with privacy regulations.
Gaming guild forum with private threads
Players create invite‑only discussions for strategy planning while keeping the rest of the community public.
Misago runs on Python 3.12.
Clone the repo, run `./dev init` (or follow the Docker commands) to build containers, install dependencies, and start the server with `docker compose up`.
Misago provides an OAuth2 client and JSON API for integration with external authentication systems.
Yes, the UI is built with Bootstrap and can be customized via the theme system and the `scripts.html` hook.
Line‑ending conversion can break the `dev` script; disabling automatic CRLF conversion in Git resolves the problem.
