create-fora

CLI quickstart for Fora — embeddable comments. Zero config, no auth required.

Quick Start

npx create-fora

That's it. Auto-detects your framework. No login, no signup — just paste and ship.

What it does:

1. Asks for your site name and domain
2. Auto-detects your framework (Astro, Hugo, Hakyll, etc.)
3. Creates an anonymous site (rate-limited to 3/hour)
4. Outputs a copy-paste snippet for your framework

Need more? Run npx fora login to enable billing, multi-site management, and team features.
