Surikai engineering · Discourse
We design, develop and operate Discourse platforms for communities and business applications. We support organisations launching a platform or looking to improve an existing instance.
SERVICES
We work on existing Discourse instances as well as new projects, from a targeted adaptation to running the whole platform. Development follows Discourse conventions, and dependencies are documented to make maintenance and upgrades easier.
CASE STUDY
Discourse used as the foundation for a custom business application, combining tailored workflows, profile management and AI-assisted search.
REUSABLE COMPONENTS
THEME COMPONENT
Our theme component improves the Discourse calendar’s readability and navigation, building on the existing events plugin.
