    Overview

    PeerBoard is software that allows you to build a branded, feature-rich community forum right on your website.

    With PeerBoard, you can create a subreddit-like space right on your own website, so your community doesn’t have to leave your site to connect.

    Instead of the traditional forum layout, which can be tough to navigate, PeerBoard offers a single categorized newsfeed that operates like a Facebook feed.

    The PeerBoard algorithm puts the high-value posts at the top of the feed based on engagement and recency, so community members never miss a beat.

    PeerBoard makes it easy to embed a white-label community forum right on your website.

    Create both public and private community forums, with full control over the community’s visibility, access rights, and registration options.

    Your community forum is a completely branded experience that lets you choose a custom theme color, add your logo, and customize your categories and topics (e.g., “Dogs in seasonal sweaters”).

    PeerBoard also supports rich media in posts, such as images and videos to help keep people engaged and interested.

    PeerBoard supports rich media, allowing users to include images and videos in their discussion posts.

    The forum’s real-time threads help facilitate valuable in-depth conversations within your community.

    With branched discussion threads, community members can respond and react to comments, questions, or suggestions in a way that makes it easy to follow the conversation.

    Members can also customize user profiles by adding taglines, bios, avatars, and more, giving them the freedom to be their authentic selves.

    Your best-in-class discussion board offers real-time comments, reactions, branched discussions, and more.

    With PeerBoard, you can access and manage your community members in the forum’s built-in CRM.

    Check out all of your member info, contacts, and stats without any restrictions and easily update member info from the CRM dashboard.

    You’ll be able to quickly transfer members or add new members to your community through a simple email invite.

    If you come across those unsavory types, you can also block members from accessing the community in just one click. (A curt message that says “BLOCKED!” is a good backup.)

    Get access to all of your member info, contact, and stats in PeerBoard’s built-in CRM.

    Embed PeerBoard as a fully customizable page in your WordPress site in just 10 minutes.

    You can put the community forum behind a paywall and provide a seamless login experience for users.

    Not a WordPress user? No problem.

    Use the platform's open-source components and SDKs to easily integrate PeerBoard into any environment from React and Node to more complex setups.

    Along with a WordPress plugin, PeerBoard also offers plugins and SDKs for custom environments.

    Your homepage is where the heart of your site is, so you don’t want to send your precious visitors out into the cold, cruel world of open forums. (“Why does everyone keep calling me a ‘simp’?”)

    Gain more control over your organization’s community space by getting off that third-party site and bringing your community where it belongs.

    PeerBoard takes care of the infrastructure, so that you can focus on building a thriving community on your own terms.

    From the founders

    November 30, 2020

    Hey Sumolings! It’s Mikhail, I’m the CEO at PeerBoard, and we are super happy to be live on AppSumo today!

    After spending years at Facebook and seeing how it grows on various communities that use it, I thought to create a tool that would return this engagement back to communities. A tool with no ads, downranking in the newsfeed, convoluted notifications, and such that allows total control of what the community leaders and members can do. So a bit more than a year ago, we started PeerBoard.

    The result of this work is what you see today. A product for professionals to enable better knowledge sharing and Q&A for different verticals and right where your members already are — on your website! From the beginning, we focused a lot on embeddability. Now we have our WordPress plugin and plug & play components for custom-built websites, in addition to your typical custom domain support.

    We have various customers using us, from service marketplaces to professional tools, coaching platforms, communities for blogs and paid emails, and many more. We don’t discriminate any use cases and are laser-focused on enabling quality civilized discussions at scale.

    A few key features we support:

    * Complete white-label with rich customization, make it truly look like a part of your brand

    * Flexible community structure with two-level categories and rich user groups

    * Powerful and simple post editor with media and markdown support for full freedom of expression

    * Realtime multilevel comments, daily community digests

    * Super-powerful integration capabilities: custom websites, WordPress, more to come

    Tbh, this deal was hard for me to agree on, as we’re giving lifetime product access and support for just $59. The only things that are not included in this tier are uncapped usage (1000 monthly actives max) and an ability to hide our footer. You can unlock both of those with another code (apply it in your board Settings -> Billing).

    For what we’re working on now, you can also find our roadmap here: https://community.peerboard.com/post/1598710173 — most notably, more integrations, a powerful notifications system and read statuses, mentions, and granular subscriptions. Please, don’t hesitate to share your needs there. We are a feedback-driven company and are happy to hear your thoughts!
