@saasdesigner You nailed it! I would say that Norby's inbox is the crowd favorite based on user feedback. It's the hub where everything comes together in the product and where so many things can be done. Here is the a link to our knowledge base article on this feature - https://help.norby.live/norby-inbox. If you have any further questions or feedback, please feel free to let me know.
@saasdesigner Just like Luke said, our inbox is definitely a beloved feature -- you can sync social media DMs with SMS replies and email, all in one place, all linked up to your address book where you can track individual user journeys & analytics.
Aside from that, our landing page builder is our shining star -- it's where everything comes together (links, signups, embeds, and more)... and from our preset themes and our incredibly granular customization options, there's something for everyone. Try it out and let us know what you think!
@saasdesigner Hey Bren, thanks for the support! The Inbox is definitely a customer favorite, but our cross-platform analytics are pretty nifty too. You can see full user journeys, from a follower initially signing up or sending you a message on Instagram, all the way to click throughs in text messages and emails. Would love to hear what you think if you get a chance to try it out!
All-in-one can be hard to pull off, but oh so powerful if you nail it. Congratulations! Looking forward to trying it out.
@sven_radavics 100%!! our team did TONS of customer interviews and deep research on what tools were most essential to live up to our all-in-one brand promise. What we found is that a healthy mix of tools that can work for acquisition like landing pages and signups, as well as retention like SMS/ email and events, is what sets our customers up for optimum success. The other key unlock with an all-in-one platform is aggregating all of your audience data so you can truly understand what drives someone to go from passive follower to paying customer!
@sven_radavics Thanks for the congratulations! Looking forward to you trying out the product. Sounds like you have thoughts and would love to hear your feedback as you give us a try!
Combining most used and wanted features in a single platform is a must for digital marketing since there are many tools in the market but nobody knows which ones to use to get accurate results. I believe Norby accomplished to provide what is needed in digital marketing. Congratulations on the launch, I am excited to see what you will be up to for the next releases! 🚀
@hilal_aydin Hey Hilal, appreciate the kind words! As brand and community builders ourselves, we've felt the pain you're describing, and that's exactly why we built Norby. Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback if you get a chance to try it out, and thank you for the support!
Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Nick, one of the co-founders of Norby. A little over a year ago, we released the very first version of Norby to a small group of beta testers. We’ve spent the last year scaling our beta and today we’re opening up access to everyone and launching Norby publicly – along with some brand new features, a new website, and a new look.
How’d we get here? At the beginning of the pandemic, @sam_safer_valentine, @steven_layne and I helped build an online community called Mainstream. When the site took off, we found ourselves scrambling to keep up – stitching together dozens of marketing, messaging, and analytics tools and writing code as fast as we could to make it all work together. We started collaborating with other creator businesses and community-driven brands and quickly realized we were all dealing with the same problems:
- Good tools are expensive
- Workflows are fragmented
- It’s hard to get started and even harder to grow
We met incredible founders, makers, and creative entrepreneurs with skills and vision, but who didn’t have the toolkit or know-how to grow a modern, multi-channel brand. So we built Norby to help fill that gap with:
- Easy-to-use SMS and email marketing tools
- Customizable landing pages for signups, events, and your link in bio
- Plug-and-play segmentation and cross-platform analytics
- Resources and community to help you at every stage of your journey
Our goal is to help you grow — whether you’re just getting started or building on your success. Launching a Shopify shop? Grow your lists by organizing community events. Releasing an album? Build hype with SMS drops. Scaling your coaching business? Streamline your signups and workshop management.
We’ve built Norby from the ground up to help you find sustainable success, and that includes our business model. We don’t charge by the contact or follower, we don’t make money from ads, and we don’t sell your data – ever. Our Growth plan is $19/mo and you can try it for free, no credit card required, by clicking the link above. (And if you sign up now, you'll lock in 50% off your first month as a special thank you from our team 🙂)
Check it out and drop a comment below. We’d love to hear your feedback, thoughts on features we should add next, or how you’re thinking about community-driven growth!

@sam_safer_valentine @steven_layne @nicholas_gerard We did it! What a journey it has been. I am so proud of what Norby has become, from the inside out. From our team to our product to our incredible customers – we’re changing the game for how people make a living and unlock success. And that feels GOOD.
As a previous small business owner, I joined this team because I wholeheartedly believe in the need and value of Norby. However, the people behind it and the community that has been built along the way are what amaze me every day. Thank you to everyone who has and continues to support us, and to our customers who always keep it real, give us honest feedback and insight, and enable us to build a better product to create a better future.
At Norby, we believe anyone with passion and determination should be able to build a successful business. Change takes time, but today, we’re one step closer!!
As Nick said, our team will be around all day to chat about all things Norby and community-driven growth. We can’t wait to hear and learn from y’all.

@steven_layne @nicholas_gerard @tori_lazar1 + team Norby we did it - so proud! When we say born from first-hand entrepreneurial experiences - and frustrations, we mean it. We have felt the highs and lows of building a multi-channel brand and community ourselves and we’ve seen and heard it from our users. It’s incredible to be able to build a product that addresses the pain and bring it to market for all to experience. Our team is here for your entrepreneurial journey whether it is just getting started or moving into growth mode - we have your back!
A huge shout out to our community for your support, feedback and trust in letting us be part of your journeys -it's why I do, what I do.
@nicholas_gerard congrats on the launch. It seems, you need to work on mobile responsive a little bit. On some pages, the buttons are not visible on Android device. Rest all good.
@sam_safer_valentine @steven_layne @nicholas_gerard congratulations on the launch - interesting idea! Do you have any one feature you would way particularly sets you apart from your competitors?
Thank you so much Berk @berkaydin! Our innovative Inbox sets us apart from other creator economy and marketing tools. You can keep the conversation going across your socials, SMS and email all in one streamlined inbox experience. We use Inbox daily at Norby and it gives us the context we need with our audience. Would love for you to get into the product and try it out!
@alizalicht If you're reading this and wondering what MASTERFUL branding looks like, GO CHECK OUT ALIZA'S PAGE AND SIGN UP FOR ONE OF HER WORKSHOPS! THANK US LATER!!
@nicholas_gerard haha thanks! Norby makes unique branding possible. That’s a huge reason why I am on it!
Congrats!! Great idea for e-commerce or SaaS businesses! Waiting for my invite now.
If you need help with building 100+ content creators to promote Norby in exchange of a commission, contact me on LinkedIn.
I've done that for my startup, but also for others.
Founders support each other! Peace!
Norby is the best! I’ve had so much success hosting events on this platform. It’s reliable, user friendly, and makes your brand look 👌🏻
@alizalicht that means so much coming from you! thank you for being on this journey with us from the very beginning. we couldn't have gotten the product to where it is today without your honest feedback and input! it's been so gratifying to see you succeed in your events marketing strategy with Norby
@alizalicht Love to hear it Aliza, thanks so much for your support! Also, excited to share that we are cooking up some new features for the events builder over the next few months... can't wait to share & hear what you think!
@alizalicht Thank you so much, Aliza! Your support has meant the world to us over the last year, and like @tori_lazar1 said our product would NOT be where it is today without your feedback and input. Thrilled to continue supporting you and building together!
Congrats on the launch!
But... a Belarusian domain, really? "https://my.nor.by/" Any privacy implications?
@vladislav_roslyak1 Hey Vladislav, great question! No security or privacy implications to speak of – we follow standard security best practices and all data is encrypted in transit and hosted in the US. But we also have several other domains available, including norby.live, if it's of any concern. I'd love to hear your feedback if you have any questions or other thoughts around privacy and security – please feel free to send them my way, and appreciate the support!
I am so excited and proud to be a part of the Norby team and get to share this product with you all. Congrats to the whole team and thank you to the Norby community and customers who have helped us get here!! Check us out!
@erin_flynn2 is one of our incredible software engineers!! making the magic happen behind the scenes!
@erin_flynn2
Love working with you @erin_flynn2. Product couldn't be what it is without each and every member of our incredible team :)
@erin_flynn2 It's a pleasure working with you Erin, thrilled to launch this together!
@erin_flynn2 We couldn't have done this without you Erin! So proud to be working with someone as brilliant as you!
@sam_safer_valentine @steven_layne @nicholas_gerard + Norby team, it's been a privilege to work with you on this vision to help business owners and entrepreneurs unlock success. We can't wait to see the feedback and comments received here to improve the product - congratulations on the launch! 🚀
@jackbingham We quite literally wouldn't be where we are without you and the team's support! Thanks for your ongoing collaboration -- we're so proud of all we've accomplished together and couldn't ask for better partners!
@sam_safer_valentine @steven_layne @jackbingham Jack, it's truly been a pleasure. The Friendly team has been such an integral component of our product development and it's incredible to see all the positive feedback today on things we worked on together this year. Super excited to keep it going as we move into a new phase, and thank you for all the support!
Pumped to see this all-in-one platform out in the world. We backed NORBY at BBG Ventures because creators and solopreneurs have been under serviced and need best in class tools to help seamlessly manage and build their businesses. Just sent out our first event invite with the all new Norby 🙌
@nisha_dua It's been such a pleasure working with you and the whole BBGV team this year. What you and @smlyne have built is just incredible, an absolute force to be reckoned with and also just a fantastic group of people who work really hard and care deeply about founders. Truly grateful for your support and excited for the next phase!
@nisha_dua
Nisha. Thanks so much for your continued support and belief in our vision. You and BBGV have truly been a great resource to us and that has been much appreciated. Thanks for continuing to care deeply about the founders you work with. :)
SO proud of team Norby and all the hard work our team has put in to get here!!! As a previous founder myself, I’ve experienced a huge need for a product like Norby, working on this for the past few months with the best team has been humbling and inspiring to say the least!!
Congrats to everyone on the team and a big big thank you to the Norby community that have been with us for the ride!
@manali_hanamsagar So glad you joined the team Manali, and thrilled to launch this together!
@manali_hanamsagar thrilled to be building this alongside such an incredible team member.
It's such an honor to be part of Norby and to introduce this product to you all. Congrats to everyone on the team and thanks to the Norby community and all the customers who have helped us reach this point!
@jose_matos1970 product couldn't be what it is without you! It's an honor to watch you build and bring our product to life.
@jose_matos1970 double tap on what Sam said! we couldn't be here without you!! or our customers!!!
@jose_matos1970 It's been such a pleasure working with you this year, Jose – so excited for the next phase!
seems interesting! Can i run automated email campaigns as well on your product?
@saurabhwadhawan Thanks for your interest Saurabh! Email campaigns are manually initiated with an intuitive send builder, and our inbox streamlines your communications with your customers across multiple platforms. We have exciting plans for email automations in the near future.
@saurabhwadhawan Seconding Toby, our rockstar frontend engineer working on the next phase of our email builder! We have tools which can help you run email campaigns end-to-end -- from growing your contact list with signups, to segmenting your list and scheduling sends on your schedule. Let us know if you end up trying it out -- we'd love to hear your thoughts & feedback!
We did it, team! Can't wait to show the world what we've been building and couldn't think of a better group of people to be on this journey with. Thank you to our incredible Norby community of customers and supporters -- we couldn't do this without you!
@chloe_dechambeau1 wooo! what a journey it has been but so well worth it!! thank you for being a part of this team from day 1 and helping make Norby what it is today!!
@chloe_dechambeau1 @tori_lazar1 +1 --THANK YOU for being part of this team and helping mold Norby into what it is today. A great team player and more!
As a creator and founder myself, Norby has been a game-changer in how I view marketing and community. I loooove having my link in bio ALSO be a fully functional marketing tool where I can track user behavior, host signups, host events, share affiliate links, and create original content such as emails and texts ALL IN ONE. Truly love this product and this team.
@designedbyshyne1 SHYNE! OG Norby stan!! thank you endlessly for being one of our biggest cheerleaders from the beginning. I can't say enough how much it means to us when creators/ founders like you not only resonate with Norby's vision but genuinely find value in using our toolkit.
It's also been incredible to watch YOUR growth this past year – juggling school a thriving branding agency and a community is no easy feat. You do it with style and grace.
Thanks for being on this journey with us!
@designedbyshyne1 Shyne!!! Thanks so much for all your support. We wouldn't be here without community members like you!!
@designedbyshyne1 Shyne! This means the world to us! Was so awesome chatting with you while we worked on the scope for our newsletter & sends rebuild... phase 1 is slated for completion before the end of the year so you'll definitely be hearing from us to be an early tester ;)
Product manager at Norby here 👋 I joined the team back in May after a long stint in media, where journalists and content creators are wholly bound to publishers, platforms, and in many cases, ad revenue and ancient ad tech. When I learned about how Norby empowers creatives to own, grow, and monetize their audiences, on their terms, I knew I had to be a part of it.
The last few months have been thrilling, humbling, and most of all inspiring — I’ve had the best time working with our brilliant team and getting to know our customers who are taking risks, believing in themselves, and supporting each other every step of the way.
My favorite features are our all-in-one inbox and detailed audience analytics… can’t wait to hear what you think!!!
@nicoleyd Pleasure working with you every day :) So excited to launch this together!
@nwa_techie the BEST!! appreciate getting to work with you every day. our customers are lucky to have you in their corner
i've been using Norby for several months now and really love it. i test a lot of platforms to build creator strategies so i see a lot of what's out there and the identical feature sets — but what makes Norby shine is how well the dashboard it thought through.
yes, you can set up your link-in-bio page and send email, but you can also manage your SMS campaigns and IG DMs and the part that makes the marketer in me smile is the ability to track your audience journey.
sent an email? you can track the journey [ someone clicking a link in your email → visits your Norby page → clicks to RSVP to an event listed on your page → clicks the calendar event after confirming RSVP ].
this is the level of audience journey i see on my dashboard which is something i used to need to use several tools to accomplish in the past. it's become an essential part of my creator marketing tech stack.
i'm excited to see Norby continue to evolve.
@mohit_ar Mohit! Thanks so much for your support. We love working with you and appreciate your kind words!
@mohit_ar YES!!!! Mohit, thank you for talking about the value of understanding your audience. This truly is the unlock to success and perfecting how you engage and build relationships with your audience. we are so grateful to have seasoned marketers in our corner to amplify our vision and provide us with the critical feedback we need to continue serving our customers as best we can!!
@mohit_ar Mohit!! I can't tell you how much your support means to us – I'm thrilled our paths crossed this year and delighted to have you as part of our community. Bummed we didn't get a chance to connect when you were in town last week but looking forward to continuing the partnership and hopefully meeting up IRL soon!
Congrats on the launch, this looks great! Can we post on the main social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok) directly from Norby and analyze the performance in Norby?
And I guess you're not integrating with CRM systems because you're actually replacing them, right?
@michiel_van_spaandonk Great question! We're an all-in-one digital marketing solution that combines essential tools necessary to market and grow your brand online. Our toolkit currently includes landing pages, SMS & email marketing, lead generation tools like signups and events, as well as a breakthrough omnichannel inbox that syncs with your SMS, email, and social media DMs! This enables our customers to showcase their work, build their contact list, engage with their audience on a deeper level, and ultimately build a loyal community of paying or subscribed customers.
Our platform is an ideal tool to enhance your social media strategy and ensure you're able to quickly share new work through your link in bio landing page or drop them a weekly text with fresh content updates. The possibilities are endless depending on your biz!
That said, we don't currently offer a full content management suite to automate things like IG feed posts, Reels, etc...HOWEVER, this is something we've thought about adding to our toolkit in the future to take our all-in-one brand promise to the next level. I'm curious if you have any favorite content management software?
And in terms of CRM, we do have a Zapier integration that allows you to connect other CRM software to Norby as you begin to transition to our platform. We wanted to ensure converting to Norby was as easy as possible for our customers who might already be using pricey tools and are looking to streamline their workflow or save time and money by switching to Norby!
