Hello Mark !
Thank you to participate in this post
First of all, in Pages there is already a native Discussions application. This then proves that you yourself, you think a forum application is useful and necessary in a Page.
And thus justifies the need to have EasyDiscuss also in the Pages, just as with Groups. Because EasyDiscuss is a more powerful and comprehensive tool than Discussions.
What are the benefits of having to render EasyDiscuss on the page of EasySocial ?
In your EasySocial demo, one of the categories of Pages is "Brand or Product".
You know it better than I do, any product always raises technical issues.
A forum dedicated solely to a specific product could be very useful, no ?
Let's take an example. If I create a site about Drones, in EasySocial I will create a Page for each Drone model.
Each of these pages will have the EasyDiscuss application, so that visitors can ask their questions that specifically concerns the model of their Drone.
This application will also be useful for a Company or a Store where visitors could ask their specific questions.
The site is then better organized and clearer.
Hence the interest of "Discussions Page App", and even more of "
EasyDiscuss Page App".
However, I can not settle for Discussions App. Because Discussions is very basic, too basic even.
The features are rudimentary. The nonexistent options.
Unlike EasyDiscuss which is a mature product, very well designed, powerful and feature rich. EasyDiscuss meets my expectations very well !
So obviously I would rather used EasyDiscuss in Pages, rather than Discussions.
Besides that, the big advantage of EasyDiscuss would be that the questions asked from the Pages will also be visible in the main application of EasyDiscuss.
To convince you, you will find at the end of this post a detailed comparison of Discussions and EasyDiscuss.
You will find that the differences are very numerous.

A few months ago, you released an application to integrate EasyBlog into the EasySocial Pages.
Now we all expect that EasyDiscuss will also be integrated into the EasySocial Pages...
Thank you very much for your understanding.
