Projects
Showcase what you're building
What projects are for
Projects are the public home for what builders and founders are making. They help people understand the work, follow its progress, find the right links, and know how they can help.
Use a project page when you want your product, experiment, startup, tool, or community initiative to be more than a passing post in the feed. A good project page gives your work a stable identity that the rest of Commune can discover and return to.
What you can do with projects
Give your work a home
Create a shareable place for your project so people can understand what it is, who is behind it, and where to follow along.
Help people discover your project
Add the right categories, tags, and context so members browsing Commune can find work that matches their interests.
Showcase your work
Use the project story and gallery to show what exists now, what changed recently, and what makes the project worth paying attention to.
Bring your team with you
Add collaborators so the people helping build the project can also help keep its public presence current.
What a strong project page does
Makes the idea clear
Explain what the project is, who it helps, and why it exists. People should understand the direction without needing the full backstory.
Shows proof of progress
Use the showcase, gallery, and updates to show what has been built, what changed recently, and where the project is heading.
Gives people a next step
Make it obvious whether you want feedback, users, contributors, testers, launch support, or followers who want to keep watching.
Helps the right people find your project
Categories, tags, blockchains, and links help your project show up in the right context across discovery.
How you can use projects
Introduce the work
Give people the basics: what you are making, who it is for, and why it matters.
Tell the story
Explain the progress, decisions, screenshots, lessons, and open questions that make the project easier to understand.
Bring the team in
Show the people behind the project and let collaborators help maintain the public page.
Earn followers
Let people follow the project when they want to keep watching, support future updates, or come back later.
Project context inside posts
Commune is designed so builders can attach a project to a post naturally. The post can stay focused on the update, question, lesson, or ask, while the project appears as helpful context for anyone who wants to understand the work behind it.
This makes project promotion feel less forced. In many public feeds, dropping a link to your own product can feel awkward or promotional, even when the update is useful. On Commune, the project connection is part of the post format, so builders can talk about what they are learning and shipping without turning every post into a pitch.
The post carries the conversation
Lead with the useful part: the decision, experiment, milestone, problem, or feedback request.
The project carries the context
People who want the bigger picture can open the project page, follow it, explore links, and see the team behind it.
