Spectrum

What is it?

A single, unified place for all the best communities.

Who is it for?

Nerds, initially (Spec, TeamSketch, Zeit, Framer, Figma, etc...), but expand to pop culture and beyond through that community.

Why should communities use Spectrum over (Slack/Facebook Groups + Messenger/Twitter DMs/etc)?

• Free public communities
• Purpose-built for communities first
• Search engine indexable communities
• Code of Conduct + moderation tools
• No advertising
• Threaded Live Chat supports async + synchronous conversation easily.

How does it make money?

  • Unlimited private channels
  • Unlimited moderators
  • Slack team / FB group import
  • Statistics
  • Pinned posts
  • Brand tools
    • Subdomain
    • Custom theming
  • Privacy controls
