Hello ProductHunters! 👋 We're The Social App, the next-generation messaging, chat, texting, communicating, everything app. Our mission is to introduce an app that not only lets you message friends and family but also empowers, builds communities, and provides privacy as a core tenet. But today, we wanted to focus on something very simple but important, building exclusive communities. Online community building began before the era of Facebook. But as social media and the tech space evolved over the course of time, content creation became the domain of a lucky few. The barriers to entry were high, and the monetary compensation was low. But with The Social App, anyone can create a Subscription-Based Group Chat and get paid for it. The Social App is the first app of its kind to offer this type of feature. And we're not just talking about influencers or celebrities, but anyone with a following, whether it's 100 people or 1 million people. The Social App offers a unique and easy way for you to monetize your online presence and create an exclusive community for your fans, followers, or simply like-minded individuals. The Social App plays a happy medium for influencers and brands looking to build high-value relationships. When other platforms started, brands would judge an influencer based on "how many likes" their product got on a hired influencer page. Later that practice would evolve using "discount codes" and other metrics to see how many of those likes converted into sales. Then added to that was the level of engagement. But even with engagement comes the primary issue of how much of that engagement is from real humans versus bots. The Social App Subscription-based group chat reinvents the creator and brand relationship by: 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 A platform where creators/influencers can get high engagement because all members of the group chat are paying members. We are estimating the average group chat will conservatively have anywhere from 75-95% engagement levels versus the typical 1-10% engagement on other platforms. This gives quality subscribers to the creator allowing them to repackage those stats as a premium offering back to brands. To brands, this ensures that the reach is genuine, unlike other platforms. 🏁🚫 🙅‍♂️The race to see who has 100,000-500,000+ followers on a page will become irrelevant, as KPIs that brands will look into would be amount of followers x content topics or niche within "reasonable human levels". Subscription-based group chats empower not just content creators but also organizations, athletes, beauty, gamers, life coaches, investment/VC professionals, and many others! For organizations, it gives a place to communicate with members but also easily maintain membership dues. Instead of a "paid newsletter" engage with your paid followers and take your content to a new "intellectual high". The Subscription-based group chat features for The Social App include: The ability to create a vanity URL so group chat creators can easily onboard their potential subscribers by sharing it on their social platforms. Just as you will see with David's customized URL. Ability to support over 💰💰100+ international currencies💰💰, so you can easily promote your group chats in different countries. The currencies will automatically update to a user's local currency. 🥷 Enable Ninja Mode- When you want to share something that should be shared for a limited time. This also prevents screenshots (for Android Only) and Notifications, if a Screenshot is taken (iOS). 🔀 Migrate from WhatsApp to The Social App. If you already have a group chat on WhatsApp. You can easily import the chat history from it. 🔒 All Group Chats are end-to-end encrypted using 256-bit encryption, so you can rest assured that your conversations are private and secure. Users can also "selectively mute other participants using our Tombstone feature. One of the annoying things about large group chats is that there is always that "one person" who may personally annoy you. With our Tombstone 🪦 feature, you can selectively mute individuals in a group chat, allowing you to customize your group chat experience. Since our initial launch of subscription-based group chats, we have seen athletes using the platform to share nutrition, workout, and skill tips with their followers. Subscription-based group chats on The Social App are being launched by notable current and former NFL players such as David Pindell, Former Quarterback for the Tampa bay buccaneers, and Minnesota Vikings, to share Quarterback tips 🏈🏈🏈🏈 (Sign up for this group at: https://groups.thesocialapp.net/...)🏈🏈🏈. I would love to open up the floor and get any feedback or questions regarding The Social App, Subscription-Based group chats, or any other features. As you can see we are all about community. Feedback from the community is what will help us scale and build this into a platform that is all about scaling the community further. We invite you to launch your own group chat today. The Social App can be used for launching a monetized group chat as well as personal chats. Give it a try! Let's together reinvent messaging as it should be! Available on both iOS and Android. 🤯

Hey 👋 There I am super excited to be part of The Social App team and to share our vision of how the next generation chat app should be. Ome of the things I personally felt was there was always a lack of community in the other apps out there. The mission we are on is to not just connect users but also empower users. This is what has been a driving impact belief we have here and I myself personally wanted to share our collective mission! Please do give us a shot and try out the app! When you are taking using the app or giving us feedback through our video base CSX. You will know that you are empowering not just a platform but also the users who are using it to bring change to their communities! Thank you so much!

Sound like a great tool! Do you have any plans to publish encryption parts to opensource to let any independent researcher validate your security practices? And convince everyone that you really have reliable end-to-end encryption?

@raakin This is gold! Way too many good features available. My favorite is the ability to import Whatsapp chats. This makes switching between apps incredibly convenient. Congrats on the launch!

@alcaan Thank you Thank you! Yea we are using AI to help users migrate off of WhatsApp as just because old things withstand the test of time doesnt mean theyre in the best shape to use today 😉
