CO | OPEN and mangos is missing  (www.liv.io)
 

[Fabrizio 162]

Added!
Pretty neat website, I'll have to say Props for linking to github for the dev'ing & project/feature requests

Hehe, boo for the discussion platform though Not to mi liking at all, prefer SMF or such over that one.. hands down Have seen a couple of forums migrate to that, and have had to stop using them :I (privacy reasons + tracker/ad/script blockers break the functionalities)

[Samuel 23]

I have removed the discussion platform  
Will integrate communication into my prototype directly
