Discourse is a discussion platform that we are using
Feel free to say your feelings and your feeback.
The web interface seems quite confusing at the first glanceā¦ The creators say using it should be the best way to learn it.

It might be, because itās not like a common forum. But I can ensure you that is very easy to use after the first glance
initially itā s really tricky
@AbsyntH which part is tricky? This cheat-sheet could help? We can improve it
You donāt have to choose a category at first, just post and choose the category after that
itās ātrickyā if you think at Discourse like an āoldā Forum,but more you use it and more it become friendly

The UI is quite flat, I mean, every page/section appears the same.
What is strange is that from mobile devices itās a better experience.
However day by day things goes better.

You might be right, but if you think about it, Facebook or Twitter or G+ are very similar
As I said here
Discourse is not like other forum, almost itās not a forum but something else. Itās something that looks like a social network, a forum, a chat or a mailing list. It could be confusing at glance but indeed itās very easy
@sitz do you like smothing like that? With more contrast among rows and use of borders?
mmhhā¦ IMHO UI si not so clearā¦ Iām referring to a topicā¦ too much white and empty spaceā¦ is there any other temlate we can use/test?

Which part? Do you refer at the topic or at topic list? Do you want more colours? 
Do you refer to the home page? Something like this is better? Categories - NethServer Community
@zamboni Do you like it? Like NethServer official colours 
I activated it, what do you think?
No, Iām not talking about topicās list, iām referring to the topicās post page, like this you are reading nowā¦
What do you think? Is it better with the new CSS? And gray background? Can you attach an image with some example? I could ask to my CSS guy @davidep and @Stll0 
to take a look
a bit better, but IMVHO we should make it more āclassic forum likeāā¦ it will increase its readibility (BTW, does this word even exist?)
moreover, on a classic 15.6" laptop screen, thereās too much empty space
@zamboni zamboni Maybe because youāre used to this
But Facebook is like this (despite the ads)
G+ is like this
And Twitter like this
Are so different from Discourse?
Are you sure to want go back 10 years?
are we talking about a social network site? 
about going backā¦ maybe Iām too old (or you are too yung), but if we are talking about something that should be use for work, simpler and cleaner is, the better choice.
we should use all the available space on the screen when itās available (pc, laptop)
moreoverā¦ I donāt use G+ or twitter, and on FB I use an add on to hide ads
I donāt want an old interface, I want to have a clean one where I can read easily the content
we donāt need a Bmw X5, but a land rover, if you know what I meanā¦ a work tool, not a (new) social site
all IMVHO
@alefattorini I have no hurry to change the spacing: I want to believe it has been optimized properly to depend on the size of the screen!
I agree with you and the current one is the best size for me 
But we can play with colours to minimize the white.
I would leave it as is: there are too many buttons and details to look at, I would not add more.
Letās hold on a while. I think itās a matter of habit
