CommunityScout

Thank you @5harath for hunting CommunityScout! Hey Product Hunters 👋 Thanks for checking out this product. I’m Preetish and I take care of marketing at Tribe, a customizable community platform for businesses. In the last couple of years, I have interacted with hundreds of community builders — both seasoned and novice. What I discovered is that when someone is looking for a platform to build and grow their community, they struggle with clearly identifying the right fit based on their needs. Often some latent needs emerge once the actual community building starts. And that further amplifies the frustration. 🤔 The Problem: We don’t have a centralized resource that educates community builders on the things they should consider when evaluating different platforms. How can we make it easy for community builders to evaluate different solutions from one place and get personalized recommendations? 🛠 Our Solution: The goal of CommunityScout is to showcase various factors you should consider when building an online community. The centralized data points collected from different platforms help you make informed decisions. Simply answer a series of questions to the best of your understanding and at the end, you’ll receive a personalized recommendation via email. You also be able to perform side-by-side evaluations after you narrow down your choices for the community platform. Really appreciate @michaeljnovotny for all the support and help to bring this idea to life. Thanks for the read! I look forward to your feedback and I’ll be here to answer any questions you might have. 🙏 Cheers, Preetish

It was an honor to have the chance to colab with @pr33tish , @diba_rashidi and the team at Tribe to create CommunityScout. A really fun tool but super useful. The interesting thing I thought about this tool was that after creating it, it became obvious that it was something that should have always existed. Because, so often in the no-code space and community platform space you don't often know if you've picked the right tool until after you've invested weeks of your time using it. It is my sincere hope with this tool, that it can help community builders avoid such pain and find the right community platform before they start building it out. Starting a community is hard enough. Trying to find the right platform should not be part of that difficulty.

Congratulations @michaeljnovotny on another successful launch for communities.

Oh my god, this deserves the product of the week! Content strategists need to know about this product!!!

As much as us makers want to get started and build a community right away, getting the platform right at the start can have a big impact on your community and how it scales. Tools like this are a great way to understand and evaluate different tools more before locking into a platform while understanding the pros and cons of each. Thank you for making this!

Congrats on the launch @michaeljnovotny @pr33tish and team!

I like it when startups try to provide value first before asking, and the makers of Tribe have the same mindset! Check this cool tool they built where you get personal recommendations of which tool to pick when building a community!
