Couchers.org is a non-profit and free platform, built by volunteers and responsible to the couch surfing community, instead of investors. Our goal is to reclaim couch surfing and make it easy and safe for people to connect across cultures, keeping the free-sharing spirit alive and all the amazing travel experiences accessible to everyone. For this we’re including some of the best features from other platforms but tackling the main issues such as: profit incentives, safety, disconnect from community needs, or outdated functionality.
StandupBot is an easy to use bot that automates your team’s standups, check-ins or any kind of recurring status update meetings, without breaking the bank. Trusted by thousands of teams to run over a million standups in our 8+ year history.
Unlike other tools that try to do way too things and are super confusing to manage, we focus on what you really need to automate your team’s meetings:
⚡️Fast setup: From install to first meeting in under 60 seconds. Great defaults to get you going and super easy to change to your needs.
👥 Multiple teams and projects: Create as many standups or status meetings you need for different projects or teams.
🕘 100% asynchronous: Everyone participates when it’s more convenient for them.
📃 Standup Report: Receive an easy-to-read report via email and Slack when the meeting is done.
👀 “Just following” mode: Select who's actively participating in meetings and who's only following through reports.
📆 Flexible scheduling: Schedule your meetings at the days and times you need. Automatically excuse people from meetings when they’re on vacation.
✅ Participation reports: Team- and individual-level participation reports, so you can easily see who needs some encouragement to share their updates more frequently.
🔔 Automatic reminders: We’ll be the friendly drill-sergeant for your team reminding everyone that hasn’t submitted their standup to do so before the meeting window closes.

Last month, after mentioning the phrase "couchers.org" (a free alternative to Couchsurfing) in a private message to another user (who said on her profile that she prefers to be contacted there), I was instantly suspended. Source: 11 months ago
Yep, it's an issue with couchsurfing, nobody wants to leave a negative reference. This was actively being discussed in couchers.org. I myself felt pretty uncomfortable leaving a neutral reference once. Source: 12 months ago
You could also use couchers.org. It's more a follow-up to the broken couchsurfing.com, so a much wider scope. Currently it's free and says it will stay that way, they want to go with volunteer effort. Source: about 1 year ago
Couchsurfing: my preferred way of touring: you get to meet great and likeminded people, you don't have to lug around camping gear (although it's good to bring an indoor-sleeping bag). The site with name couchsurfing.com is broken. But the oldschool warmshowers.org and the new couchers.org are great! You have to treat this type of hospitality as a gift and not consider it a free service. If you can, hosting others... Source: about 1 year ago
Also, I would suggest joining a hospitality org. The best, original one is Servas - www.servas.org - but there's couchers.org, trustroots.org and others. it could help you immensely. Source: about 1 year ago
