Add title to categories, redis and updating

Hey!

Is it possible to group the categories with a title? (Like show a title above each category section?) Did not found exactly where I would need to do that.

Not really. In "classic" forums you do this by restricting to level of your forums tree to categories that can only contain forums, but those were removed from Misago when it transitioned to flatter structure alike to Discourse or, say Bungie forums. I'm exploring the ways of going further with this change in the forum's UI, but its unlikely that there will be a way to group categories together like it used to be.

Is it somehow possible to use redis as a cache? Haven't found anything preconfigured in Django.

Not in core Django, but there are third party apps that provide this functionality for you. This is outside of Misago's scope to deliver however.

For updates do you turn off the server for like maintenance mode, uninstall old misago, install new? Or how do you manage that?

Update strategy in Django world, depends between deployment method to deployment method as well as need of changes introduced by releases. Personally I'm not doing anything fancy. Just run fabscript that synces files on server with my repo, whipes old Misago from venv, install clean one via pip install misago, then run migrations.

Yup.

Nah. I'm letting the uwsgi's code reloading do its magic. Usually this results in ~1s long downtime which is nothing for me to lose sleep over.

Yep, editing JS is way to go. Eventually Misago may implement way for users to override individual components in a manner similiar to how Django does it, but it's not priority for now.

On sidenote, I wouldn't invest too much into editing html templates other than navbar/footer/jumbotron/base.html, as rest of them are on chopping block and will be delegated purely to <noscript> fallback for bots, with rest of looks coming purely from JS views.

Version control and diff is best I can provide at the moment.
