README
Simple, powerful online communities.
This is the main monorepo codebase of Spectrum. Every single line of code that's not packaged into a reusable library is in this repository.
What is Spectrum?
Vision
It is difficult to grow, manage and measure the impact of online communities. Community owners need modern, chat-based communities but are running into scaling issues when their community grows beyond a few hundred members. It becomes hard to keep track of who's who, know what conversations are happening, and ensure that the community is staying healthy and productive.
Spectrum aims to be the best platform to build any kind of community online by combining the best of forums and real-time chat apps. With best-in-class moderation tooling, a single platform for all your communities, threaded conversations by default, community health monitoring, and much more to come we think that we will be able to help more people start and grow the best online communities.
"[Spectrum] will take the place that Reddit used to have a long time ago for communities (especially tech) to freely share ideas and interact. Except realtime and trolling-free."
Status
Spectrum has been in full-time development since March 2017 and is part of GitHub since November 2018. See our current priorities and what we are working on in the main project board.
