Start a project

Module · Community

A members' space on your own domain, not a group inside someone else's app.

Posts and replies for the people who have paid to be there, behind the same login they already use on your site. You decide who is in; the algorithm does not decide who sees it.

Start a projectHow it works

Switched on per account rather than bought. Plans start at ⁨$20⁩ a month.

The feed

One room, and you decide what sits at the top.

Pinned posts sit above everything on the first page, and everything below them is newest first with no ranking in between. Replies go under the post they answer, a like is one tap, and the whole thing is a list somebody can read to the end.

Membership

The door is the same login they already have.

The catalogue says what the members' space costs and which door it is meant to open. Opening it is yours — one click on their record once they have paid you — or a system you run opens it through the grant API. It can also arrive carried by something they already hold: a course or a coaching plan brings the community with it.

When a membership lapses, the door closes on its own. Their posts stay.

Keeping it civil

Forty-eight people you know need less moderation than a million you don't.

Everyone posts under the name on their account, so there is no anonymity to hide behind. You can pin a post to the top of the feed, and remove a post or a reply that should not be there.

Real names

Posts carry the name on the account, and the level that account has earned beside it. A room of people who paid to be there and know who is talking is a different place from a public thread.

Pin and remove

Pin the route for Sunday and it sits above everything on the first page. Remove the post that should not be there and its points come off everyone who earned them, inside the same transaction, so nobody keeps a score from a post that is gone.

Suspend the account

Not a community button — it is the account itself. Suspend it and every door closes at once, the club included. What they wrote stays, so the thread still makes sense.

How you get it

On your plan, switched on for you.

Community is switched on per account rather than bought. It is not an add-on with a price of its own — your developer turns it on when your project is set up.

Community needs user accounts, and the two are switched on together during setup.

Before you start

What this does not do, said now rather than later.

No public forum

It is all behind the login. There is no anonymous posting, no public comments and nothing for a search engine to index.

No direct messages

Posts and replies. Members talk in the feed, not to each other in private — which keeps you in the loop and keeps the moderation surface small.

No mobile app

It is a page on your site, and it works on a phone as a page. There is nothing to install and nothing in an app store.

Getting started

One switch, and your people have a room of their own.
