I'm looking forward to the plugin. It gives me a Circle/Skool vibe from which I believe many of the ideas may be coming from. I used Circle and was looking into Skool.
My biggest drawback of creating a community on WordPress was resource management, stability, and maintenance.
Also, user experience on mobile is a huge thing because I believe a lot of people are checking social media/communities on the go and like push notifications rather than having to check email for updates.
Yes, we are inspired by Circle & Skool! I am a big fan of Circle. They did an incredible job.
Shahjahan Jewel, I'm a big fan of Skool (The only thing I miss on FluentCommunity for now is granting access to courses depending on user's community level).
WordPress is the real thing. It would help to have good hosting with regular backups.
The Circle app is great. If you are a member of several communities on Circle, you only need to log in to one. I hope that there will be a FluentCommunity app in the future.
Sella Yoffe, yea once things are in full motion an app has to be a priority or there will be small % of people logging in after the initial hype of the community they joined.
Competition with social media platforms is too hard when they have push notifications. And now with AI on both Android and iOS that integration into the app will also be big in the coming future.
