🚀 Hey Product Hunt! I am launching AtomChat today - here's the story: So I've been in product for a while now, and I kept seeing this frustrating pattern with creator friends. They'd build amazing communities, share incredible knowledge, then get hit with platform changes or crazy fees. The stuff that really bothered me: - Watching creators lose 30-40% to platform cuts - Friends having zero control over their own audience data - Communities getting scattered when platforms pivot So I/we(team) built AtomChat to solve this: ✨ Zero platform fees - keep what you earn ✨ Host it anywhere - your site, your rules ✨ Everything in one place - chat, calls, streaming* (coming soon) + instant payments ✨ Actually simple setup (and if you can't be bothered with that, our team will help with the integration) AtomChat was launched in 2020 but we were never confident enough about launching here on PH. Why? Because I felt what we had to offer was not very unique and did not solve any real pain points. We fixed that by repositioning AtomChat as a tool that helps creators monetize their communities. And that is why we are launching now. I'm not trying to build another social platform. Just better product infrastructure so creators can focus on creating instead of worrying about payments and platform drama. Real talk: Our UI still isn't where I want it to be - we're actively working on making it cleaner and our website feels archaic. But what we've learned from 3,000+ creators is that they care more about keeping their revenue and owning their audience than having the prettiest interface. Also, we are gonna work on the UI and the website this Q. Would love to know - what's your biggest pain point when it comes to monetizing expertise? What would actually make you switch from your current setup? Thanks for checking us out! Really curious what you think 🙌

Congratulations on the launch! @amit_thaker
One of the biggest pain points I’ve seen for emerging creators is bearing high platform fees early on, and then hitting limits as they try to scale. The tool should enable growth, not become another problem to solve. Glad to see you address these!
Godspeed!

@el28n Thanks a lot, Elson. Yes, we are moving toward becoming a pure-play creator platform and this is the first step :)
