Discourse vs Habitus: What are the differences?

Discourse: The 100% open source, next-generation discussion platform built for the next decade of the Internet. Discourse is a simple, flat forum, where replies flow down the page in a line. Replies are attached to the bottom and top of each post, so you can optionally expand the context of the conversation – without breaking your flow; Habitus: A Build Flow Tool for Docker. Habitus is a standalone build flow tool for Docker. It’s a command line tool that builds Docker images based on their Dockerfile and a build.yml. This is particularly useful if your code is in compiled languages like Java or Go or if you need to use secrets like SSH keys during the build.

Discourse and Habitus are primarily classified as "Forums" and "Container" tools respectively.

Discourse and Habitus are both open source tools. Discourse with 28.6K GitHub stars and 6.47K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Habitus with 986 GitHub stars and 82 GitHub forks.
