The forum

Persistent threaded discussion, mirrored from our live Discord. Search-friendly, builder-scoped — the answer to your question is probably already here.

Forum is being built

Below is the channel structure that will mirror our Discord. Until the forum ships, join the live Discord — every conversation there will replay into these channels once the bridge is in place.

Why a forum, not just Discord?

Discord works in real-time but the answer to "what torque for the M3 in step 4?" gets buried within a day. The forum mirrors the live conversation into persistent, searchable channels scoped to each session. The AI assistant indexes the forum the same way it indexes the docs, so future builders get the answer in-context.
