Hey to all our amazing Nowa builders!
We are super glad that our community just hit more than 1000 members on Discord Therefore, it’s time for us to move to a bigger and more advanced house for all of us
Introducing Nowa community official site ![:house: :house:](https://community.nowa.dev/images/emoji/twitter/house.png?v=12)
This will be the new home for our community Here you will be able to share your thoughts, follow up with different topics and categories, interact with other members, and get help way better than before! We are super excited to see how you all will benefit from this upgrade and hope you all will be happy here
Why moving?
Discord was the starting place for us, but as our community grew, the discussions and topics volume grew to a level that made Discord inefficient to handle.
Some topics were getting lost, duplicated, or getting late replies which is something we hated. This new site will be a huge improvement, let’s see how
Will the community on Discord shut down?
No, we will keep the Discord community alive as well, but it won’t be our official place anymore. This means that it won’t be as active and vibrant as this one, but we will maintain it as well.
What can I do here:
There are a lot of things you can do now that weren’t possible in our older place on Discord, and here are some of the things you can do here:
- Create new posts under different categories, replay to existing ones, or show appreciation by liking them
- Topics created under a single category but can have multiple tags for it.
- Great power while typing a post or a replay

- Attach images, tables, calendars, etc.
