I’d wanted to have a community option outside of Facebook for a while and initially bought Heartbeat, which has a great UI and functionality, however, looking at the limits and customisation of UUKI, I realised, for what I wanted, this was a much better potential. Not only can I create multiple communities (future proofing, especially as I move to monetise other businesses) but the range of options included for the right plan is seriously impressive. Private spaces and monetisation are the first two ticked boxes.

The ability to brand a community with colours and domains is nothing special, but I was surprised at the level of customisation, including custom fonts, links, gamification + analytics (useful to know how to improve engagement) and even the ability to submit sitemaps to GSC for public spaces + content “reading”.

I was also surprised to see the SSO capabilities as well, so this could extend to a company community, not just external.

The management UI isn’t the prettiest, but I think for the functionality (custom JS/CSS) this is not a problem. The API is well developed and built-in webhooks mean you can integrate with practically any system for the most common events (new user, new post, etc). There are also integrations with Zoom for the upcoming Events capability.

The roadmap (https://trello.com/b/L9Y6sbwz/uuki-community-platform-roadmap) is also very well developed and exciting! UUKI will no doubt be a contender for no.1 Leader in building communities. Personally, I most excited about 1:1 chats and Crypto spaces!

All in all, these options make UUKI unbelievably flexible and if you’re willing to wait a bit and put in some work on the design, you basically have your own version of Reddit, Teams, Circle and other swish platforms with a plethora of bells and whistles attached to it. With 2.5 hours left on the countdown, I’d say there’s no better option at the minute - grab at least 4 codes for the best plan + features before it’s too late!
