A page comparing yourself to other similar apps (Slack, Discord) would be nice. The front page just gives me the impression that this is yet another fragmented chat app that people will be hesitant to download. Your "member guide" (https://www.notion.so/Openland-Member-Guide-a249051153614aef9c5b87ad8b2ef0ac https://www.notion.so/Openland-Member-Guide-a249051153614aef...) only contains bullet points and your "why another social network" (https://www.notion.so/Why-The-World-Needs-a-New-Social-Network-a1f8dcd410264613a2035d1ad53b83fc https://www.notion.so/Why-The-World-Needs-a-New-Social-Netwo...) is extremely vague.

Openland advantages over Slack / Discord: - Member onboarding - Integrations (CRMs, Zoom, etc.) - Automated messaging - Hashtags for messages and profiles - Threaded comments (Discord don't have them) - Community analytics - Paid communities (one-time, subscription, donations) - More to come. We work directly with community organizers on new functionality they need the most. We'll be expanding our articles and guides soon. The community building playbook is the one I recommend to read now https://www.notion.so/openland/Openland-s-Playbook-for-Community-Builders-4ab523afd827403c802d21ca22dcb143 https://www.notion.so/openland/Openland-s-Playbook-for-Commu...

  Wait - are you claiming that integrations are an advantage Openland has over Slack? Care to elaborate on that?

    Yeah... most of this is highly theoretical and hand-wavy. Needs a real marketing department to handle this narrative, not the CEO.

I very much second this. Have no idea why to use Openland when there are so many more alternatives with an optimized vision for their usage. Openland vs Slack Openland vs Discord Openland vs Facebook Groups etc. The classic of course is hubspot -> https://www.hubspot.com/products/sales/salesforce-vs-hubspot https://www.hubspot.com/products/sales/salesforce-vs-hubspot
