Been exploring Discourse more and we can actually add headers, footers, splash sections, images, custom colors and boxes, backgrounds, fonts, etc… all the basic website things. Essentially, Discourse can be customized to become a mini website. Not sure if there’s a plan for the current website, but we could probably recreate all the components on the current website inside the Discourse homepage. If we could do that, would it maybe make sense to just make [sourcecred.io](http://sourcecred.io) the Discourse homepage?

- FTR [this site](https://theme-creator.discourse.org/latest) is 100% pure play Discourse goodness

Besides that it would just be awesome, this could also optimize engagement with the SourceCred community. Right now it’s mostly 5-10 people. If Twitter, the podcast, and our other outreach campaigns would link directly to the forum. People who hear about SourceCred would be one click away from engaging with the community. They would still see high level info on the website, but they could also ask questions and create a profile to start playing the SourceCred game right away! 🙂
