Mateflow's answer:
Go (Golang) on the backend and React on the frontend.
Mateflow's answer:
Mateflow is an AI-native community platform โ AI isn't a bolt-on feature, it's infrastructure. A built-in AI Copilot answers members from your own knowledge base and gets smarter as your community grows. Beyond that, Mateflow unifies what creators usually stitch together from five or six separate tools โ spaces & discussions, events, real-time messaging, courses, monetization, analytics, and deep admin/governance โ into one platform that works together from day one, all running on your own brand and domain.
Mateflow's answer:
Most community tools optimize for quick setup and a pretty member feed, then leave you without the admin depth, branding control, and governance needed to run a real business. Mateflow is operator-first: it invests in the moderation, analytics, governance, and white-label branding that matter after launch day. You get true ownership (custom domain, themes, CSS, white-label), built-in AI and monetization instead of add-ons, and transparent pricing with no credit card required to start.
Mateflow's answer:
Creators and businesses running a community as a business, including:
Creator businesses (newsletters, courses, paid circles)
Brand communities (customer hubs, ambassador programs)
Education programs (cohorts, bootcamps, alumni networks)
Membership sites (subscriptions, gated content, events)
Mateflow's answer:
Mateflow was founded by a team with 10+ years of hands-on experience building and operating SaaS communities. We kept seeing the same pattern: community operators stitching together a forum, an event tool, a chat app, a payment processor, and a newsletter service โ and still ending up without the depth to run their community like a real business. The result was fragmented member experiences, data locked in silos, and teams spending more time coordinating tools than serving their audience. We built Mateflow to change that: one platform where community, content, events, messaging, monetization, AI, and admin tools work together from day one โ deep enough for serious operators, transparent enough for honest evaluation, and accessible enough that anyone can start for free.
Mateflow's answer:
Mateflow has just opened for public sign-up, so we're early and don't have major named customers to share yet. We'll update this as our community of creators and businesses grows.
Based on our record, Discourse seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 23 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
A lot of communities use [Discourse ](https://discourse.org). [LPSF](https://forum lpsf.org) migrated to it when Yahoo Groups was discontinued. Some of the advantages are that it's open source, self-hostable, and can be configured to work as both a traditional mailing list and modern forum. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
More like https://discourse.org/. You can run it yourself, but I can also just have them ding a credit card every month and not think about it again (I do this for a community). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Discourse perhaps? I've seen it in use in a few places; it has a modern look and feel to it at least. https://discourse.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
I fully agree with you see my comment here[0] -- I think you may have misread my comment, it says "Discourse" (as in the forum software[1]), not Discord. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37245220. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
