Enable GitHub Discussions #27

Description

Summary

Enable GitHub Discussions to give users a place for Q&A, ideas, and general conversation — keeping Issues focused on actionable bugs and features.

Steps

  1. Go to Repository > Settings > General > Features
  2. Check Discussions
  3. Create these categories:
    • Q&A (question/answer format) — for usage questions and troubleshooting
    • Ideas (open-ended) — for feature brainstorming before it becomes an issue
    • Show and Tell (open-ended) — for users to share their Kite setups, configs, screenshots
    • General (open-ended) — catch-all
  4. Update SUPPORT.md to link to Discussions for questions
  5. Update .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml contact link URL (currently points to discussions but they are not enabled yet)

Why

  • Reduces noise in Issues — questions and ideas do not belong in the bug tracker
  • Gives the community a place to engage without creating issue clutter
  • GitHub Discussions supports threaded conversations, voting, and marking answers
