Garnet - Build the one true home for your online community

Stop pushing your community between 10 different apps, with different links and logins to get the functionality you want.
Bring these experiences to your community instead! Just create rooms and drag in any audio, video, and text chat features you want. All in one place.

Thanks for hunting us @nickabouzeid! Hey everyone 👋 We're excited to share Garnet with all of you! We realized during the cambrian explosion of video and audio apps over the past year that as communities and businesses moved online, their needs for functionality from these apps got more specific. We started out working on a social gatherings app with some friends, but then something interesting happened. We got inbound requests from all over asking "Hey, I like your app, we could really use it if it had XYZ feature for our use-case. Could you build that for us?" 🤔 It became clear that 1) people seemed to have a pretty good idea of how they want their communication tools to work, and 2) very few people were able to build their own. So we set out to create a tool that lets anyone build their own custom video, audio, and text chat rooms and pick and choose what features they want, without having to build it themselves! 💪 We then centered the tool around community, because in every use-case we explored, there is always a group of people that trying to stay connected online. Whether it's a creator offering a course to their audience, or a business giving customers a space to help each other, there's a community seeking to stay together. 🤗 That's exactly what Garnet aims to do. Let your community stay together in one place, instead of switching between multiple apps, but still get those unique and special experiences. 💫

@_carlosdp_ Hey there, congratulations on launch. I like your pitch and product and even created account right away, but I didn't find any reason to move from existing platform I am using. How is it different from other and what is the feature I am getting that I miss on other platform. I have searched for documentation but still my bad luck. Would love to know more in detail.

@knilkantha thanks! We don’t expect people to move over to Garnet immediately, but rather start using it for events instead of using other external video chat apps for community events. Because we support so many different ways to do video chat, it eventually becomes easier to move fully on to Garnet than have an additional platform, when Garnet serves all your needs 😊

@knilkantha @_carlosdp_ Does Garnet have any kind of documentation?

I used to host all of my community events on Zoom but would always get low engagement & interactivity feedback! Then I met Gail & Carlos who introduced me to Garnet and I will never go back!! Such a great platform to host literally ANY type of online event or meetup! Congrats on launch 🚀

Thanks so much @peytnhaag !! It always means so much when we find ways to bring those meaningful and unique connections back to communities 😊

Takes less than two mins from creating an account and setting up a room. Easy to navigate and self-explanatory on how to use the product.

This is like subway for online meeting! Choose and pick the features you want and have it enabled in the room. Very cool. Is it free during beta and you'll have a paid plan later?

@kenmoo it's free right now! At the moment, we don't have plans for paid plans. We're experimenting with other monetization methods that scale with customer success 🙂

wow this is a nice idea to have a single platform for community

@vivekweb2013 thanks! It’s an ambitious goal, but we think our approach leverages platform thinking in a way that allows us to meet that ideal without trying to be a typical “super app”
