Connected discussions
Connect published content to its corresponding Discourse conversation through DiscussionBridge and its platform adapters.
Independent product ecosystem
Publish anywhere.
Keep the discussion.
DiscussionBridge (DB) connects publishing platforms to one durable Discourse conversation without turning the forum into a deployment broker or forcing every site into the same presentation.
Made by CodeWorksLabs. DiscussionBridge keeps its own site, documentation, demos, community, repositories, and product identity.
What it connects
Published content.
Continuing discussions.
Platform-native products
Astro, Ghost, Hugo, Statamic, and WordPress integrations preserve each platform’s own publishing lifecycle.
Three presentations
Choose Simple, Full, or fullInteractive without confusing those distinct product promises.
Governed identity
Durable Bridge Records connect canonical pages and topics with bounded direction, ownership, and visibility.
Safe operations
Idempotent retry, fail-closed reconciliation, diagnostics, and recovery are designed into the workflow.
Publishing profiles
Consult the DiscussionBridge versions and live-status record for publishing-profile and demonstration evidence.
Planned optional plugin
Change platforms.
Keep the discussion.
Platform-to-platform migration lets DiscussionBridge users change publishing platforms while keeping their existing Discourse conversations and connections to the published content.
DiscussionBridge Platform Migrator by CWL is planned as a separate optional plugin communicating with DB. Platform-pair and version coverage, compatibility and delivery arrangements remain open.

Lifecycle thinking
made concrete.
DiscussionBridge is the original worked example for the CodeWorksLabs product lifecycle. Its Alpha gates treat public documentation, support, exact releases, live demonstrations, diagnostics, maintenance, and recovery as product work—not finishing touches.
The DiscussionBridge versions and live-status record identifies current releases, demonstrations and evidence. Platform Migrator is planned; this page does not claim that platform migration is available in the current DiscussionBridge release.
