Discord now has a stronghold on community platforms. The reason it is valued are two-fold: - Quick and easy to spin up - Pushes for noise and activity rather than benefit or knowledge (which companies who wanna boast numbers value)
We would like to bring back the good old fashioned community forums with a couple twists: - As much spam-free as possible through AI flagging (used to be a problem) - Chat baked inside (chatrooms being optional under discussions) - Multi-tenant authentication (one registration will be enough to join other community forum instances)
We are looking to talk to more people and would love to hear critique about this. All feedback is super welcome.
It has not been long that we started working on this. More than half of the time we spend goes with potential customer interactions. Here are our insights so far: - Companies are well aware of the information clutterness that Discord bears - Companies value the activity level of the server more relative to the usefulness of the community - Developer communities are an outlier here - People who join a community platform when outside Discord are more valued vs the ones that are on Discord
I am looking to talk to more people around this so we can build a first version as informed as possible as to what the best version would look like. Feel free to sign up in our waitlist and I will make sure to reach out.
Someone with this product and session recordings would win the market 100%
Even though the traffic is very limited to my blog - which I believe is the case with 99% of personal blogs/websites - going back to the blog to write more stuff and reading through old posts are useful. It gives you an insight of how you were thinking about something else or something that you should care about but you forgot to do
In this way, your visitor community could help you manage customer relations and also talk about your product live.
