Open-source blogging and forum software written in V, producing a single ~100 KB binary for deployment.
Vorum is an open-source blogging and forum software written in the V programming language. It provides a complete platform for creating community websites with integrated authentication, all compiled into a single lightweight binary. The project solves the need for a simple, self-contained forum solution that's easy to deploy and maintain.
Developers and communities looking for a lightweight, self-hosted forum and blogging platform, particularly those interested in V language projects or minimal deployment solutions.
Developers choose Vorum for its extreme deployment simplicity—everything compiles to one ~100 KB binary—and its clean implementation using the modern V language. It offers a straightforward alternative to heavier forum platforms while being completely open-source and self-hostable.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Everything compiles into one ~100 KB executable, eliminating complex deployment setups and reducing resource overhead, as highlighted in the README.
Supports OAuth-based authentication via GitHub out of the box, simplifying user management without needing custom registration systems.
Built entirely with the V programming language and vweb framework, offering a clean, efficient base for developers interested in new tech stacks.
Small binary size and self-contained nature make it ideal for lightweight, resource-constrained hosting environments.
Admitted as pre-alpha with many broken and unimplemented features, making it unreliable for production use or critical deployments.
Lacks epoll/kqueue support, capping performance at about 1k requests per second, which hinders handling high traffic or concurrent users.
HTML templates are precompiled into the binary, forcing a full application rebuild for any template change, slowing development iteration.
Currently only supports PostgreSQL and GitHub authentication, with other databases and traditional registration still in development, reducing flexibility.
