Outverse

Testing out the beta version of outverse and I’m really impressed by what the product has to offer. Building communities and having active users is really hard. When having to use multiple tools and platforms you’re expecting too much from them - outverse seems to be the solution. Having the freedom to building a custom space fitting the specific needs of your community is super powerful. It has huge potential to enable communities to become a daily habit of their users. I’m super excited to see where this product will go!

I got my hands on Outverse recently and was super impressed. Having spent a huge amount of time in various Slack and Discord communities, one of my major pain points is not being able to easily find previously shared knowledge and content. Outverse’s approach to organised forums/threads feels great and seems like what has been missing! With fast, intuitive search and the ability to embed and reference different objects within Outverse, wherever you are. Another thing that stood out was the approach they’ve taken with product design. The platform feels thoughtfully and intentionally crafted – and genuinely just more modern and slick than other community platforms! Directionally, I think this is super exciting. One of the features that stood out here is the command bar and keyboard shortcuts – super fast and I’d love to see the team introduce more! As a big Notion user, the Outverse custom space builder feels familiar and super easy to use. Having spoken to the founders about their vision for customisation – I’m excited to see where they take this vision. The product feels awesome – super excited to be on board for the future!

I've loved using Outverse so far, got access to a very early version of it and have been using it for both some internal company comms for my agency and also for building a community personally too. Can definitely see how valuable it'd be for an influencer or content creator with an audience so will be recommending to a few friends now that it's launched! The team have been super responsive to feedback and suggestions I've given which has been great so I'm super excited for them now that it's live. It's also nice as the Outverse community as a whole has launched now so nice to see a lot of activity happening.

Congrats on the launch! This brought Discord to mind right away, but after reading the start page & clicking around in the Outverse community, I can see it's different. Discord...but with low-code apps? Discord, but build your own? I think an analogy may help the doubters see the value prop. (I saw Slack was mentioned in a comment by @kyranschmidt , but feel that a comparison table would help me decide to signup/purchase.) My thoughts after a few min: Quick UX thing - After completing the survey & getting the invite link to the community, it takes me to the 'welcome back' screen, even though it's my first time using this site. It may flow better if I'm presented with the signup screen instead. I would love love love more keyboard shortcuts. But that's a very personal preference. Being able to enter/arrow into different posts would be a bit faster than clicking for me, and being able to backspace for entering and leaving threads would speed things up. No pricing screens, but understandable given the current launch phase.
