Hosted on FreeFlarum (free, zero server admin):

1. Sign up at https://www.freeflarum.com → pick a name (e.g. couchamp).
2. Admin → Appearance → paste flarum-couchamp.css into Custom CSS.
3. Admin → Tags: delete defaults, create exactly two primary tags:
   • Receivers & Setup (color #2e5faa) — “Which models work, discovery, network questions”
   • App Talk (color #a9c6ff) — “Features, bugs, ideas for Couch Amp” Set “Required tags: 1” so every post lands in one of the two.
4. Admin → Basics: title “Couch Amp Community”, welcome banner “Your receiver · from the couch — ask anything.”
5. Custom domain: FreeFlarum admin → Custom Domain → forum.couchamp.com, then in Hover DNS add: CNAME forum → freeflarum.com (exact target shown in their panel). SSL is automatic.

Self-hosted later (if it outgrows free): flarum/flarum docker-compose on any $5 VPS, same CSS + tags.
