Outverse

Hi Product Hunters! 👋 I’m Kyran, cofounder at Outverse, a platform designed for the next generation of online communities. We’re super excited to be sharing more for our launch here today. Massive thanks to the amazing @thisiskp_ for hunting us! 🙏 We built Outverse because we think the experience for internet communities is due a huge upgrade. As a team we’ve been building and participating in these communities for the past two decades — from old-school forums through to Discord and Slack groups. And over the past year, we’ve been speaking to hundreds of community builders. While products like Slack can be great for some use cases, they’re not a natural home for communities. The format of instant, short-form response & lack of overarching thread-based organisation means that discussions are easily lost within the noise. At the same time, more traditional community and forum-style platforms are generally outdated, uninspiring and missing key collaborative features. We’re upgrading the UX to a level you’d expect from a modern community platform. With Outverse, community builders & members will get: 💬 Thoughtfully designed, thread-based forums 🧩 Notion-style custom space builder with multiplayer collaboration features 📺 Video spaces that are easy to set up & all handled natively 🖌️ Customization options to better personalize your community ⚙️ Integrations and embeds (Loom, Figma, Giphy, YouTube & more coming!) And here are some of the things we're currently working on: 🤖 Powerful automations to simplify the community onboarding journey and beyond 🌍 Opening the product up to community-built apps & extensions 🦾 Even more advanced no-code blocks for our custom space builder We’re currently in beta and are onboarding community builders in batches right now. To join, sign up at https://outverse.com and share some more details about yourself. Everyone who completes this form will receive an invitation to join our own Outverse-hosted community! 🪐 We’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts 🙏

Hey all, I was recently introduced to Outverse through one of my Twitter followers. As a community builder, I'm always in the hunt for cutting-edge tools and platforms that reimagine the experience of bringing people together online. After checking out Outverse and getting to know the founders' vision, I am beyond thrilled to introduce it to the larger PH community today! 🎉 In short, Outverse is a community platform that's easier to use, better organized and designed for real interaction. It is a perfect amalgamation of the best parts of Internet forums (elegant threading) and Notion-style custom spaces blended together. I was blown away by the UX and the seamless design even at this early version. My favorite feature is the "Video spaces" which allows you to integrate hassle-free live video spaces and events, within your Outverse community. No external video tools needed. Outverse is a leapfrog attempt at what a modern community platform would look like in 2022. I am planning to explore the tool a lot further this year, I hope you'll check it out and see if it makes sense for your community. The Outverse team is here all day to answer any questions you may have, so don't be shy :)

Outverse is an amazing website. It's a great platform for people to interact with each other and share their ideas, thoughts, etc. They are very active on social media as well. I love how it provides everything you need in one place including forums, custom spaces (pages), blogs, video posting sites like Youtube or Vimeo which can be shared easily via the site interface or through links/embeds from other platforms such as Twitter or Facebook!

Congratulations on the launch, would like to check out for sure!

Congrats to the team! I've been following since almost day one what Kyran and the whole team is building and really thrilled to see what they're gonna continue to ship, onwards!

Congrats on the launch! Notion + Slack + Discord! UX looks slick!

This looks totally awesome 🤯 I'm constantly on the lookout for community building platforms that have more flexibility without getting overly complicated to use and Outverse seems to have struck a fine balance here. I'm looking forward to being onboarded in the future and trying it out with 2+ communities I'm designing out at the moment. Oh, and having an "open" mindset whereby integrations / APIs are going to be in place is 100% the way to go with this tool. NoCoders everywhere: can we finally build the community based space of our dreams?
