You asked for communities to be more open, public, and searchable – and we listened. We’re proud to introduce Frond 2.0, which now offers public communities. With public communities, visitors can view all groups and content without having to sign into Frond, offering greater visibility into your community. This not only improves discoverability but also promotes conversion from visitors to active members. Plus, your community content can now be indexed by search engines. While public communities are the major highlight, they are just one of the numerous features we've been busy building: - Direct messaging for 1:1 communication - Search capabilities - Advanced community permissions - Private groups - Polls, roles, and pretty community URLs - Pinned posts to highlight important content - Activity digests to keep your community updated - Welcome posts and member introductions - Community insights dashboard - Rich commenting - Localization in German, Spanish, French, and English - Plus approximately 858 other improvements and fixes For those of you who have previously tried Frond, we'd be thrilled if you gave us another try. Our product has seen significant advancements since we launched the first Beta, and we’re confident you’ll appreciate the changes. In case you missed it, we announced last week that we are open-sourcing Frond – underscoring our belief in the power of community and user autonomy. You can read our announcement at: https://bit.ly/frond-open-source Your feedback is the cornerstone of our progress. If you have any thoughts, queries, or suggestions, please let us know, or better yet, join our customer community at https://frond.com/frond and share it with everyone. We’re always eager to hear from you. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, let's build stronger, more vibrant communities! The Frond Team

Frond dev team is very hardworking. Since Launch of the product, I am receiving continuously product new features updates. The Frond 2.0 version is a direct evidence how dev team is sincerely hardworking behind this awesome product.

We love Frond 2.0! UX and UI are impeccable and it feels amazing to work with a firm that is so radically customer focussed like these guys. The truly listen and that is really rare. Chapeau!!

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Looks exciting! We're trying to reach a broader audience with Blocks, our email builder, so will check it out for sure

So it's a forum as a service? Sort of? I'm curious: Any examples of popular communities using this out there?

Congrats on your launch. The product seems amazing.

Excellent job. I like it how one can create a ready-to-go community at the speed of light. Great UI and UX, no jargons, well thought templates. It's only natural, for me, to support and rate it high.

Congrats on the launch! I really in love with UI you made! As I understand it is open sourced, so I can host it mu own machine if I need for any size of community?

Congrats guys on the launch! Like the idea and definitely try it later!

I stumbled across Frond a week ago after searching for a community platform for waaaaay too long. Great functionality, awesome features on the roadmap and the team are very responsive and open to feedback. I’m extremely happy with my choice to use Frond moving forward.

Thanks for launching the version 2.0. Best of luck.

Congrats, @jans and team! I'm a community builder primarily for audiences concerned with security and privacy. One suggestion would be to adjust your privacy policy for certain membership levels who do not want data shared with third-parties, or make this something entire communities can opt out of. Good luck, and appreciate how easy your privacy policy is to read!

Seems interesting, but I'll be honest: I'd put the open communities themselves at the front, before any registrations or sign up forms. This way you kinda replicate the successful Reddit formula, but with a more personal twist. Let the communities do the promotion for you, and either way - congrats with the launch and I wish you reaching the stars quicker - I LOVE some of the design choices you've made in the community management screen itself.

Amazing product 👏 it's great to see your changelog and roadmap presented in such an open format - adds to the trusted/ transparent community element 🙌 I can see myself using this

It looks very promising, I love it! My congrats, upvoted! Good luck, guys!

Well done guys the product seems amazing 🙏 🎉

So it's basically Slack without all the clusterfuck present there. Also curious why limit members to 50 on the free plan? Won't it kind of decrease usability for small creators and reduce the adoption rate?

Love it!

Looking forward to try it out! Congratulations on your launch! 🚀🚀🚀

Congrats on the launch! This is looking super good.
