Today we’re launching core.forem.com, a dedicated space for every discussion, announcement, and update related to the Forem Core open-source project.
Forem 🌱
Welcome to the Forem codebase, the platform that powers dev.to. We are so excited to have you. With your help, we can build out Forem’s usability, scalability, and stability to better serve our communities.
What is Forem?
Forem is open source software for building communities. Communities for your peers, customers, fanbases, families, friends, and any other time and space where people need to come together to be part of a collective See our announcement post for a high-level overview of what Forem is.
dev.to (or just DEV) is hosted by Forem. It is a community of software developers who write articles, take part in discussions, and build their professional profiles. We value supportive and constructive dialogue in the pursuit of great code and career growth for all members. The ecosystem spans from beginner to advanced developers, and all are welcome to find their place…
Over the past couple of years we’ve gone through our fair share of changes, and—truth be told—we haven’t always been as outward-facing or communicative about the roadmap as we’d like. Spinning up this new portal won’t magically fix everything overnight, but it is a concrete step toward giving the community a clear, consistent source of truth.
The Forem open-source codebase proudly powers both DEV and our new experimental Forem initiatives, and we remain committed to keeping the foundation fully open and thriving.
We’re genuinely excited about what’s next. Thank you for sticking with us, and we hope to see you over at core.forem.com!

This is a fantastic move—having a dedicated space like core.forem.com makes it so much easier to stay updated and contribute meaningfully. We’ve been building a community platform using Forem for a niche tech group focused on mobile patrol security solutions, and having clearer access to discussions and roadmap updates will be a huge help. Looking forward to engaging more!
Congratulations this is great. Would be happy to support Forem as an open source project with Infinitcode.ai. Infinitcode.ai is free for open source projects and will always be
Neat.
This is great
