I shipped a solid update to Warble, the hosted realtime for your Flarum forum — and moved all the open-source extensions to a new home on GitHub. Here's what's new.
Realtime is lighter and faster. Every new post and reply now sends a much smaller update — just what your visitors' browsers need, and they fetch the rest themselves. Snappier, less bandwidth, and it stays fast no matter how long a discussion grows.
It now runs on shared hosting with zero setup. This is the big one: live replies, typing indicators, and presence work on a stock Flarum install with the default queue — no background worker, no Redis, no cron. If you couldn't run a worker before, realtime just works now.
I also fixed a reply error that could show up on large or admin-visited discussions. Resolved, end to end.
Update in one line
composer update linkrobins/flarum-warble
No config changes. Give realtime up to a minute to switch on after updating.
The extensions are now a GitHub org
All of the open-source Flarum extensions, Warble included, now live under one organization: github.com/linkrobins. Browse them, star what's useful, and open an issue if you hit anything.
Get Warble → linkrobins.com/warble
