    Hey thebigk :)
    Here it is!!

    Landing Page: https://www.postifai.co/
    App: https://app.postifai.co/

    It solves these problems for content creators:

    • Not owning your content. Content is being collected on a central place and distributed to connected social media platforms.
    • Helping with content creation by auto translating, rewriting content with AI for better reading and easier understanding
    • Helping with Content Recycling by building a database with text blocks and connecting them with context and the current post you are crafting

    How ugly is it (still) ? ;)

      Haha, that's actually a nice MVP. Looks solid and promising.

      Question: Why is not owning content a problem?

      1. 1

        I recently had the problem with my youtube account.
        Password was gone.
        I hadn't logged in once in a while, but thought to myself no worries, i'm going to simply reset my pw.
        But then, to my surprise, it was really hard to get into the account.
        Youtube has been implementing a lot of security measures to prevent account theft.
        It asked me for the connected account for restore.
        I was 100% sure to provide the correct Information, however i consequently got the message, that this account is not the right account for restore.
        I wrote to the support, but long story short: in the end i couldn't get back my account and the content and subsribers where gone.
        Now it was a small account and i have backups of the videos on my nas storage, but i have learned my lesson 😉

          You are absolutely right. It's really difficult to deal with these bigwigs when things go wrong.

          It's one of the reasons I advice people to own their data and not build community on Facebook, Slack etc. Wish you all the best!

    Let me add the project I'm working on.

    Landing Page: https://jatra.club
    MVP: https://community.jatra.club - Demonstrates the community building tool that powers the community.

    Problems it solves:

    1. Saves money and time by combining multiple tools: Blogs, Discussions, Changelog, Events, Job Board, Newsletters, Quizzes etc.

    2. Solid SEO - Turns community into user magnet through SEO out of the box.

    3. Amazing community experience for your users. Increases brand loyalty and stickiness.

    Would appreciate comments and feedback.

      Hey neat idea!
      I think your landing page is far from ugly!
      Do yo have already some customers?
      How are you approaching and where do you look for community owners?

      1. 1

        Thank you. I am putting in all my learnings of 15+ years of community building into this tool; so that new communities do not repeat the mistakes I did.

        1. I have just launched and in talks with a few people. But no converts yet. Heck, I don't even have a payments page :-D.

        2. I am looking for creators and SaaS businesses looking to setup their communities on their own domain. My tool lets you white-lable the community. I am hoping to share my journey through this platform.
