5129 :: [OT] curious why this forum lacks some Discourse features?

  this forum looks like Discourse and also seems to be developed with Nim(not very sure). But I do miss some features from Discourse or GitHub.

  1. Markdown support. Being one of GitHub users I'm quite familiar with Markdown, this forum seems not supporting Markdown?
  2. Linked topics has previews on Discourse and GitHub. And GitHub even have features like "Pingbacks"(not sure the name), the topic being linked got a auto comment after being reference, like https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/11527#ref-issue-382002943 .

  can we have those features?

  It is written in Nim.

  It supports subsets of Markdown and RST as described there: https://forum.nim-lang.org/about/rst.

  Feel free to contribute some PRs to improve the forum https://github.com/nim-lang/nimforum.
