The best interactive experience for communities. Chatter is where communities actually meet. Live, in real time, in rooms you can walk straight into. Not a feed you scroll past, but a place where your people are already talking. WALK INTO A ROOM THAT IS ALREADY LIVE Open the app and something is on. Live audio and video rooms with a stage, an audience, and a hand you can raise. Swipe from room to room until you find your conversation. YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY IN ONE PLACE (NEW) Groups have been rebuilt. Group chat, live rooms, clips and members, all together in one home. Rooms end, but the conversation does not: every room leaves a thread your members can pick straight back up. NEVER MISS WHAT IS NEXT (NEW) Browse upcoming rooms and RSVP once. We bring you back the moment it starts. See who usually shows up before you commit. THE MOMENTS YOUR COMMUNITY MADE The best bits of a live room, clipped and kept. Save them, share them, replay them anytime. Audio and video, always tied to the group they came from. GET PAID FOR WHAT YOU BUILD Members can send you tips live, in the room, while you host. Create subscriber only groups, sell tickets to premium events, and offer layered membership perks. Turn your community into something sustainable, with no middlemen. WATCH PARTIES Watch YouTube together, live and in sync, right inside your live room. Talk over it, react to it, and clip the best moments to share. No screen sharing, no setup, all from your phone. ROCKETCHATS Premium, high visibility messages that rise above the noise in chats and comments. Perfect for reactions, shoutouts, or sparking a conversation, with built in creator support. DISCOVER BY WHAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT Every post, Moment and conversation is rooted in a group, so you find people through shared interests rather than follower counts. CREATOR TOOLS Track engagement, earnings and performance in real time. Multi streaming, analytics and personalization built in. WHO IT IS FOR Community builders tired of shouting into a noisy feed.

WHAT IS DISCOURSE? We're an online forum and debate platform that promotes deep, organized discussion. We're similar to platforms like Reddit and Clubhouse, but we approach online discussion from a modern perspective. ---------------------------------------------- WHAT MAKES DISCOURSE DIFFERENT? Online discussions on other apps and websites are disorganized, messy and 1-dimensional. You can spend an hour reading a discussion and not gain any real value: it's too easy to get lost in the crowd of voices yelling over each other. Discourse aims to solve this problem by organizing discussions more like formal debates. A limited panel participates in the topic while the audience rates their opinions on a variety of criteria instead of simple likes/dislikes. At the end of the discussion, we present the results and crown the most popular panelist. ---------------------------------------------- HOW CAN YOU BENEFIT FROM USING DISCOURSE? You go to the gym to improve your bodies, but what do you do to improve your minds? Reading books, watching documentaries and educating yourself is important. But without a platform to exercise what you've learned, you're losing half its value. Build and deepen your opinions by competing with conflicting perspectives on discourse. ---------------------------------------------- WHAT ARE OUR STANDOUT FEATURES? - Limited panel size - Criteria based feedback - Organized discussions (Opening, Comments, Closing) - Ranking and experience ---------------------------------------------- WHO BUILT DISCOURSE? Discourse is built by a solo-developer/founder. We're currently a company of 1 but are looking to grow into a team that can provide you with a valuable experience. Please support us on our journey.
