I am also interested in self-hosting, I really dig the design and interface but not being able to self-host is a no-go for me. Discourse is just terrible overall and the only other real alternative is xenforo which is extremely pricy.

I'm absolutely open to supporting self-hosting under some kind of enterprise license, similar to Github. If this is something you're interested in, shoot me an email and we can try it out.
I would be interested in a self-hosted version as well; though have additional questions about administrative items. A return to forums and not a 'feed of high engagement' is sorely needed I think. Unfortunately, so are moderator tools and certain things of a web application that people have come to expect.
Yes, that’s why I don’t support “open signups” yet - I want to avoid spam fighting for now.

There are some moderation tools build in, and some where the API is done but just needs a front end finished.

Which major features do you feel are missing?

Send me an email (Philip at contraption.co) and we can discuss self hosting.
