Hello Product Hunt, I just launched a new [Bubble.io](http://bubble.io/) template, Societal Labs. With this template I intend to help you launch your own social media site in minutes. With the coming changes to popular social media platforms and the ones already happening (šµāš«looking at you Twitter), there's no better time to take control of your community and audience than now.
**š¤Ā The problem Iām looking to solve with Societal Labs**
Communities are mainly launched in one of two type of platforms, SaaS platforms or free social media sites. The problem with both of these solutions is the lack of control over your community data and design and feel of your community.
**The problem with free social media sites**
When you stop for a moment and consider the amount of work it takes to build your community, you would think you have a big upside in terms of monetization of your community. Unfortunately, the sad reality is that Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other free social media sites depend on you growing your community and posting great content for them to make billions of dollar per year. Youāre left out of the equation, even though you were the one keeping your users engaged. Additionally, you, as the community owner, spend lots of time, effort and money to grow your community and to attract new users just to find out Facebook decided to reduce the reach of your posts or you have been inexplicably banned from the platform. Lastly, your community data is not yours, it belongs to the platform to do as they which with it. There are lots of variables and not enough control as the community owner.
**The problem with SaaS social media solutions**
Similar to the data issues presented for the free social media sites, SaaS solutions donāt provide you with the full view of your community data. While they offer more transparency than social media platforms, you donāt get to keep the full data picture you could with a self hosted solution or a Bubble template. In addition, while thereās a higher level of flexibility when it comes to design, thereās not nearly enough.
**š«” The solution I propose**
The goal of the Societal Labs template is to enable community builders, no code developers and non technical founders alike to launch their own social media site. Similar to self hosted solutions, you, as the site owner get 100% freedom to build your site the way you want it. Additionally, the data is 100% yours, without having a third party analyzing it, using it to market their product or restricting you access to it.
I developed Societal Labs on top of [Bubble.io](http://bubble.io/) as a template. As many of you know, this is the leading solution in the no code space. Societal Labs only costs $69 one time payment and you can get it here: [https://societallabs.com/](https://societallabs.com/)
Send any questions or suggestions my way.
