Hey Yury and Steve,

Is the landing page aimed at the person setting up a "forum", or the average person looking for a community to join or both?

I am not seeing anything there that makes it stand out enough from the plethora of platforms.

You say above "Today, building a great community is super hard. Getting people in one place, explaining and enforcing the rules, collecting member info, and interacting in a scalable personalized way takes a huge amount of time."

If the landing page could make me feel that and show me how you solve those problems, and why discord or slack won't, I'd be more convinced.

Would be good to know who it's for. Do I get my existing community and move it over to you because I'm fed up of Slack. I come with a laundry list of pains. I have the people I just want to have an easier job moderating?

Or for a newbie to building a community that has no members yet who wants to find their audience. My problem is how to I get people to find me, what do I set up to make it entertaining and keep them coming back, etc.

Yes, Openland is primarily built for organizers who have the audience but need better tools for onboarding, engagement, moderation, and monetization. Happy to email/chat/talk in more details on what we have. We know the pains of Slack well and have solved many of them. Feel free to reach out at yury@openland.com or https://openland.com/yury

The landing page is for community members. We'll add a separate landing page for organizers soon.
