We've closed the Niblet forum

Why we closed it

When we launched Niblet, we wanted to be everywhere people might look for help: live chat on the website, Discord, Reddit, email, and a forum of our own. That sounded great on paper. In practice, we're a small team, and five places turned out to be more than we could look after properly.

Live chat and Discord get answered within minutes because that's where the conversations are happening. The forum was always the quietest of the bunch, so it kept getting pushed to "later", and a few people waited much longer for answers than they should have. We'd rather do fewer places well, so we've closed the forum and put that time into the places people actually use.

Where to find us now

The quickest way to get help is live chat on heyniblet.com. If your display won't connect, an app isn't behaving or you've got a question about your account, start there and you'll usually hear back from us quickly. You can also email [email protected] if you'd rather write it all out, and the support page lists what to include so we can sort it faster.

For everything else, come hang out on Discord. That's where most owners chat, share their setups, swap app ideas and help each other out, and it's where app builders compare notes too. If you prefer longer posts or want to show off your setup, r/heyniblet is a great spot.

For setup guides, recovering a Tidbyt or building your own apps, the documentation has you covered.

What this means for you

Nothing changes with your Niblet. The forum used its own separate login, so your Niblet account, your displays and all your apps keep working exactly as before.

If you posted a question or a bug report on the forum, we've gone back through all of them. Most turned out to be fixed already, and we've emailed the people involved. If something is still bugging you, ping us on live chat or email and we'll take a look.

Thanks to everyone who posted, shared photos and sent in ideas. It helped shape Niblet more than you'd think.
