There are two major differences between these two clones:
- qpixel is in a production-ready state. It’s not quite feature-complete with everything we’d want, but it’s not far off. Answers is not production-ready or feature-complete.
- Answers is in ASP.NET Core, which is our chosen stack; qpixel is not.
Given the first point there, we’ll use the results of the current poll as follows:
- If Yes, we use qpixel for now; polish and finish the final features, and deploy. We can then develop our own platform in ASP.NET Core, which could either be a build from scratch or a development of Answers; TBD.
- If No, we use the latter half of that - we develop our own and deploy that whenever it’s ready; it could either be from scratch or developing on Answers.
