Discourse is an Internet forum software application founded in 2013 by Jeff Atwood, Robin Ward, and Sam Saffron.
From a usability perspective, Discourse breaks with existing forum software by including features recently popularized by large social networks[which?, such as infinite scrolling, live updates, expanding links, and drag and drop attachments. However, the stated goals of the project are social rather than technical: "to raise the standard of discussion on the web through better forum software."

The application is written in Ruby, and is released under the GNU General Public License version 2.
Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform with built in moderation and governance systems that let discussion communities protect themselves from trolls, spammers, and bad actors – even without official moderators. It is designed for hi-resolution tablets and advanced web browsers.
Some Features :
- 100% free and fully open source.
- All the sociological and technical lessons of 10+ year old forum communities baked into the design of the software.
- Sane, safe out of the box defaults, but a million dials and knobs to tweak.
- A built-in immune system from trolls, spammers and bad actors.
- A comprehensive forum culture support hub at discourse.org.
