Moderator permissions give extra control\nover the capabilities of a mod.\n\nµchan is super light-weight. It supports users that have JavaScript disabled. You can\neven browse it with the original Nintento DS!\n\n## Installation and documentation\n\nTo access the installation instructions for the software project, please visit the\ndocumentation website. The website should provide detailed step-by-step guidance on how\nto install and set up µchan.\n\n## Who is µchan for?\n\nYou can use µchan to set up your own message board. The goal of µchan is to be the go-to\nsoftware for messaging board software.\n\nA quick rundown of what we support:\n* Full support for javascript-less browsers.\n* Posting\n    * No account required\n    * Markdown like formatting\n    * Multiple files per post possible\n    * Catalog\n    * Captcha's can be enabled per board.\n    * Captcha verifications are remembered for a few hours\n    * Tripcode support for both classic and secure tripcodes\n* Extension\n    * Add-on to the base site\n    * Watcher auto-updates the page when new replies are available\n    * Inline image expansion\n    * Quick replying\n* Moderating\n    * Public registration as moderators\n    * Boards are created by moderators\n        * Moderators can be invited to moderate a board\n        * Control over permissions of invited moderators\n        * All moderation actions are logged and visible\n    * Reports\n        * Dedicated interface for managing reports\n        * Clear reports, remove posts and ban posters\n    * Bans\n        * Individual ip's or rangebans\n        * Can be restricted to boards or global ban\n        * Can be timed or indefinite\n* Pages\n    * Dynamic creation of pages\n    * Linked at the bottom of a page\n    * Markdown like formatting\n\nMissing a feature? Request it by [creating an\nissue](https://github.com/floens/uchan/issues/new).\n\n\n## What is different about µchan?\n\nThis software is meant to replace older solutions that aren't of this age anymore.\nTraditional messaging boards are static: each time a user submits a message it generates\nnew files to update the board. Changing layouts and the likes requires full rebuilds of\nthe site.\n\nµchan takes a modern dynamic approach, and generates pages when they are requested. On\ntop of that is a good caching mechanism, so that responses are delivered just as fast as\nstatic files. It can handle the load when your site grows, adding new servers to take up\nthe extra load, there is no single point of failure.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffloens%2Fuchan","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffloens%2Fuchan","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffloens%2Fuchan/lists"}
