Garnet - Build the one true home for your online community

Thanks for hunting us @nickabouzeid! Hey everyone 👋 We're excited to share Garnet with all of you! We realized during the cambrian explosion of video and audio apps over the past year that as communities and businesses moved online, their needs for functionality from these apps got more specific. We started out working on a social gatherings app with some friends, but then something interesting happened. We got inbound requests from all over asking "Hey, I like your app, we could really use it if it had XYZ feature for our use-case. Could you build that for us?" 🤔 It became clear that 1) people seemed to have a pretty good idea of how they want their communication tools to work, and 2) very few people were able to build their own. So we set out to create a tool that lets anyone build their own custom video, audio, and text chat rooms and pick and choose what features they want, without having to build it themselves! 💪 We then centered the tool around community, because in every use-case we explored, there is always a group of people that trying to stay connected online. Whether it's a creator offering a course to their audience, or a business giving customers a space to help each other, there's a community seeking to stay together. 🤗 That's exactly what Garnet aims to do. Let your community stay together in one place, instead of switching between multiple apps, but still get those unique and special experiences. 💫

I used to host all of my community events on Zoom but would always get low engagement & interactivity feedback! Then I met Gail & Carlos who introduced me to Garnet and I will never go back!! Such a great platform to host literally ANY type of online event or meetup! Congrats on launch 🚀

This is like subway for online meeting! Choose and pick the features you want and have it enabled in the room. Very cool. Is it free during beta and you'll have a paid plan later?

Awesome product, this is a game changer. Great work Gail and Carlos!

Takes less than two mins from creating an account and setting up a room. Easy to navigate and self-explanatory on how to use the product.

I'm looking forward to the future of communities powered by Garnet!

Nice!! Have studied a lot of community products and Gail, Carlos and team are up to something really special 🚀🚀 Another great launch from Launch House 🎉

wow this is a nice idea to have a single platform for community

This is going to be a game changer! Congrats on the launch 🚀

I love how easy it is to switch between sub communities on Garnet - such a wonderful product!

Awesome product Gail and team ...There is potentially in Garnet.

?makers This looks to be really good. I'm interested in trying this out. I have several clients who have and are building communities for which this looks like it would be a great platform. If I sign up, where I'm "claiming my name", would that be personal name, or group name?

Looks good and easy to use 🥳

Seems really nice!

Looks super modular. Congrats on an awesome product!

It’s weird how as online communities became more vibrant, it doesn’t feel like the tools to run them have grown too. Put simply, you shouldn’t need 5+ different chat apps for a single organization. Really excited for this!

Garnet is awesome! Love the ability to customize your video experience. Good work Carlos and Gail. I’m excited to see all the wonderful things you two are going to do with Garnet.

Thanks for sharing guys! I guess it represents hard work, so well done :) just wondering what are your main differences with Notion (for instance)? :)

Very cool! Will this be stand alone or is there a way to embed it in another app?

Impressive! Just tried it. I was on-boarded in a min and was able to create my own room in another min. This is truly a game changer for people looking to build communities.
