What are Minds Networks?

Minds Networks are white-label community apps for professional and enthusiast organizations.

A community web app on your domain

Minds Networks are complete community apps, built on modern web technologies. Customize the branding, and host it on your domain. Invite your community to join your website and connect.

Integrations for your website

Integrate community with your existing website and audience. Add comments to your content pages, sync members status, and connect existing user accounts with SSO.

Your own mobile app

Launch your own mobile app on Android and iOS to engage your community when they're on the go. Reach them with push notifications to promote your content and member benefits.

Benefits for paid members

Host a community open to everyone, with exclusive access for paying members. Or create a space that's for members-only from the start.

Customizable members experience

Customize permissions, groups access, and post paywalled content, whatever works for your unique community goals.

No platform fees

Create one or more membership tiers and set your own prices. Connect directly with your own Stripe account, so not only do you own your customer relationships, we also don't take a cut of your earnings.

Sync with external memberships

Already have paying members? Synchronize members access in the app with your existing external memberships platform to instantly connect paying members with the value of exclusive community access.

Member retention

Members retain better when they form community connections

Create a custom member experience that puts community at the center. Here's how Minds Networks let you do it.

Upgraded roles & permissions

Give paying members upgraded roles, with members-only badges, posting privileges, and more.

Paywalled posts

Share paywalled posts with text, images, and videos. Share easy behind-the-scenes updates, early access to videos, members-only discount codes, and more.

Members-only groups

Give paying members exclusive access to members-only groups for higher signal-to-noise ratio and access to staff.

Members-only chats

Let your members engage with you and in real-time chats for advice, coaching, or just deeper member connections.

Website integrations add community to what you do well

Weave community into the fiber of your existing business.

Add comments to your content pages

Your content is a topic of discussion. Enable your audience to discuss it on your website -- not just on third party social media sites -- and seamlessly synchronize with discussions in your community app.

Sync with external memberships

Synchronize members access in the app with your existing external memberships platform to instantly connect paying members with the value of exclusive community access.

Sign in with SSO

Let users sign into your new community app with your existing logins via SSO. Supports all OpenID providers.

Your own branded mobile app

Upgrade your brand's mobile presence with your own white-label mobile app.

Launch your brand to the app stores

Finally get your brand in the Android and iOS app stores with a mobile app that you own. Publish under app store accounts that you own, with zero development lift from you.

Reach your audience where they are

90% of mobile phone usage happens in apps, not websites (Wurmser, 2020). Get installed on the phones of your dedicated audience and keep them engaged with native push notifications.

Zero maintenance required

You handle the community and content. We'll handle the development, with free maintenance updates and new feature drops included.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Minds take a cut of membership fees?

Nope! Memberships created with Networks connect directly to your own Stripe account, so member funds go directly to you, not through us as a middleman. You can even bring members from external services like Bloomerang.

Is a mobile app included with all plans?

Your own mobile app is an add-on to your basic pricing plan. All Community and Business plans are eligible for the mobile app add-on. We'll work with your team to create the app store listing, launch the app, and keep it updated with new features.

Who owns the user data?

We believe strongly that users who join your network are your users. To that end, you own all user data, including email addresses, engagement, and interests data, which you can use to supercharge your existing CRM.

Do Minds Networks scale?

We've been using the software to run our own network for over a decade, with millions of registered users and periodic waves of traffic from mentions in media like the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. We're confident we can handle any scale.

Am I locked into Minds Networks?

Our mission is to elevate global discourse through online freedom, which puts serious emphasis on self ownership. To that end, Minds Networks are built on open source software. While we provide the service of hosting and improving the software, it's also possible to fork the code and run it yourself.

What is ActivityPub?

ActivityPub is an open standard for social media posts that enables posts from one provider to be compatible with another. Minds Networks use the ActivityPub protocol, so posts created on your network can optionally reach audiences on other ActivityPub-powered providers like Mastodon, Threads, and Flipboard.

Built with ❤️ and open source

Minds Networks are built on open source technology. If our hosted solutions aren't right for you, you can launch your own network by downloading our code.
