moneroforum.org and moneroforum.net seem like good domain names.

Monerica, as much as I appreciate them, does not know UX, at all. I don't think monerouserforum is a suitable replacement for this forum.

It is rather impressive, this forum, on a UX level. Apparently made with Codex by the mia admin.

People seem to hate Discourse and if I was making one, I would not want to exclude people that don't use JS.

Correction: their AI doesn't. It's such an ugly slopfest. It's really a shame this forum appears to be sinking, like you I like the UX here.

@Stylus1063 What do you find wrong with the monerouserforum UX? I find it nice and simple, and for me (just my opinion obviously), that's ideal.

@monerica I'm not a UI expert, but it's just what I feel, prettiness wise. Opus 5.5 can be really good at UI. You could ask Claude Code to run a subagent improving the UI until the orchestrator rates the UI of the monerouserforum a 9/10 or something.

This guy did that and it really worked for his software (which also I recommend using): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bmp9cz1JN8

Now that I looked a bit more I can give a little bit of ideas. The most viewed heading seems unnecessary. Orange titles is a bit weird. The typefaces is a little bit too flat. Underline on usernames is weird. Moneroforum feels more like a place to hang out because of its excerpts of the post text. Monerouserforum feels a bit dated.

Two other ideas I had for Monerica. Well, what do you think about those domain names I said at the start for your forum—they're only like 10 dollars. MoneroUserForum seems a bit dated.

And then https://moneri.ca could be good, I'm not gonna squat it, but someone else that sees this could. Problem is requirements you gotta be related to Canada—maybe there's a workaround.

AI default UI is trash, but you can find sites that you like and copy those or use for inspiration. then ask it Why does that look better than mine? A lot of people for some reason like to make their own UI, but in my opinion take what's best. You can't actually copyright UI—you can copyright icons, fonts, stuff like that, but menus, layouts. nah.
