A Discord-style community platform built for Turkey

13 followers

Serçe is a Discord-style community platform built specifically for Turkey — no well-designed local alternative existed before it. Beyond servers and voice/video channels: 15+ mini-games playable inside voice chat with live cameras, synced listen-together music, XP/leveling, and a bot marketplace with a developer API. Mobile-first and free to use; the first 1,000 sign-ups get lifetime Supporter status.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Kaan, the founder of Serçe. I built it because I kept noticing something: millions of people in Turkey use Discord every day, but no modern, well-designed, genuinely local community platform ever existed for them. Serçe has the core structure you'd expect — servers, voice/video channels, roles — but it's designed mobile-first, and goes further with 15+ games you can play directly inside a voice channel (drawing, word games, social deduction) while staying on camera together, synced listen-together music, and a bot marketplace with a developer API for building your own bots. It's completely free right now — no live payment system yet, so the first 1,000 sign-ups get lifetime Supporter status as a thank-you for joining early. Would love your feedback, especially on onboarding and first-time UX. Happy to answer any questions here!

The voice chat mini-games sound genuinely fun, a nice twist on Discord for the Turkish scene. One thing I'd love to see is an in-chat translation layer that auto-detects Turkish and English in real time, maybe with a simple toggle per server. It would make cross-border servers way more welcoming without forcing everyone to learn the other language overnight.

@hilaryclinton Hey Hilary, thank you for such a thoughtful comment — this is exactly the kind of feedback we love digging into!

The translation layer idea is a great callout, and the "toggle per server" framing is smart — keeps it opt-in instead of forcing it on everyone. We hadn't scoped this yet, but it's now on our radar for making Serçe more welcoming to mixed Turkish/English communities. Really appreciate you thinking it through with us 🙏

Discord is great. But what would you change?

Discord changed the way we build online communities.

But after using it for years, we started asking ourselves:

What could be better?

Finding new communities is still difficult.
Managing growing communities can get complicated.
New users can feel overwhelmed.
And we think voice communities could be much more social and interactive.

Behind Serçe: how a very small team got here (and what's still hard)

We wanted to share something we didn't get into in our launch thread: what it's actually been like building Ser e as a very small team.

There are three of us. We've been building Ser e for about two years, went fully live about two months ago, and got onto Google Play about a month ago. No dedicated infra team, no big org behind us just three people making a lot of calls based on what we could actually build, run, and afford. Self-hosting our own voice/video servers instead of a third-party API was one of those calls, and it's a decision we still stand by.

Hey Product Hunt,

Ser e goes live here tomorrow (July 28, 12:01 AM PDT), and we wanted to open this up before launch day gets busy.
