Finally a Postgres Communication Hub for Experts and Newcomers

Event: PGConf Europe 2026

Location: Valencia

Dates: 20 October 2026 – 23 October 2026

Presentation: 20 October 2026 , 01:00

Speaker: Kai Wagner

PostgreSQL development relies heavily on traditional mailing lists, but managing the “firehose” of daily emails can overwhelm both new and veteran contributors. Hackorum solves this by providing a modern, forum-style interface that respects existing email culture while dramatically improving the user experience.

Initially focused on core development with real-time “pg-hackers” threads and Commitfest tracking, Hackorum is rapidly evolving. We are expanding our reach to support more mailing lists and enable direct mail sending from the UI. Furthermore, fresh off discussions at pgconf.dev in Vancouver, we are tackling big new ideas, such as integrated bug tracking and advanced topic grouping.

We’ve also been discussing new ideas for Bug tracking or topic grouping in Vancouver at pgconf.dev, which I would like to present our progress on.

Join us for a demo of our latest updates, including per-message read tracking, shared notes, and advanced synchronization, and discover how we are making the entire Postgres ecosystem more accessible and usable for everyone.
