A Soothing Frontend for the Animal Advocacy Forum
About
This is a frontend for the Animal Advocacy Forum. It aims to present Animal Advocacy Forum posts in a way which I (Nuño Sempere) personally find soothing. It achieves that that goal at the cost of restricted functionality—like not being able to make or upvote comments and posts. It is based on a similar effort for the Effective Altruism Forum, which shares the same software.

An example post—chosen to be a link post so that you can see both the article and the comments—looks like this:
Further notes
- Clicking on an article's or on a comment's timestamp directs to their location on the original Animal Advocacy Forum. This is useful, for example, to go to the original forum to leave a comment.
- Update 2023/09/29: Added author pages, e.g., here is mine.
