Hi everyone! I am Jan, one of the founders at Frond. The year is coming to a close, but before we wave goodbye to 2023, we’d like to say thank you with our biggest launch yet. We listened closely to your feedback and we shipped a bundle of new features that allow you to not only manage but also monetize your community: 1. Courses: Create, publish, and sell courses 2. Paywalls: Monetize exclusive groups with subscriptions 3. Custom domains: Host your community on a domain you own 4. Events: Create, manage, and discuss community events We’ve added these features to make Frond the easiest way for creators to make money with their content and community – and we’ve done all this while keeping Frond the simple and lightweight product your community knows and loves. And while feeling festive, we’re giving all Product Hunt users 25% off their first payment on any plan. Make sure to use this code by Jan 15, 2024: PH2023 Thank you to all our devoted users who contributed their feedback and ideas on our customer community (http://frond.com/frond). We couldn’t be building Frond without you! Here’s to all the amazing communities we’re creating together! 🥳

@patprokesch Thx Patrick! Great question - Gumroad and Substack are valuable players in the creator economy, each filling their own space. Gumroad, in my mind, is wonderful at allowing folks to make individual sales of any kind, while Substack is great for building an audience around a podcast or newsletter. We've found that there is a lot more a creator can do, though: many creators understand that they already have a following waiting to engage more deeply with them. That's why Frond, first and foremost, is a community product (imagine Facebook groups but without Facebook), closely followed by content monetization!

I have been looking for a platform that hosts my digital community for a while, and I consider Frond the best solution. It is easy to use, and the groups in the community can be easily modified. I also tried uploading videos and found them to be uploaded smoothly and without problems, and it works with sound and image without a glitch. Although my internet speed is not super fast.
