Community
Most of living somewhere isn't paperwork
The parts residents open without being asked: bookings, a forum on your own site, lost-pet alerts, news and a little recognition.
Forum
A forum that belongs to the association
Not a group owned by someone who moved away. Signed-in residents only, and the thread from March is still there next March.
Your categories.
General, recommendations, buy and sell, whatever the board sets.
Ask the board.
Questions go to board members who chose to be notified.
Pin and lock.
The social stays at the top. A finished argument stops.
Board posts labeled.
An answer from the treasurer reads as one.
Remove, never erase.
Removed posts are hidden with a reason and can be restored.
Amenities
The clubhouse, booked without a phone call
Residents see what's free and request it. Your rules on notice, hours, capacity and fees are enforced, so no volunteer has to say no.
See what's free.
Taken and closed days are marked before anyone asks.
Fees posted on approval.
The fee and deposit land on the household's account, payable with dues.
Close for repairs.
Bookings inside the dates are canceled, and each household is emailed why.
The rules answer.
The software says no, so a volunteer doesn't have to.
"That time is already booked."
"Capacity is N guests."
Lost pets
The dog is out. Neighbors know straight away.
One tap sends her photo to every resident who opted in, and to a public page if you choose.
Photo already on file.
No writing a description while she gets further away.
Neighbors call you.
Only the contact details you tick are shared.
"She's home."
One button takes the alert down for everyone.
It's a small feature. It's also the one people remember.
What's happening
What's happening, and what was decided
News and meeting dates on the public site, so neighbors and would-be buyers both see a community that's run.
Announcements.
On the site and portal, and emailed to residents who opted in.
Meetings.
Posting the meeting gives notice. Minutes follow in the library.
Ballots.
Residents vote from the portal; results are recorded.
Board elections.
Candidates, proxies and one ballot per lot, cast by the owner.
Say thank you, on the record
Yard of the Month and whatever else you recognize, published and still there next year.
Residents can recommend.
One vote per household, never their own home. No downvotes, no worst yard. The board decides.
Not a sociable neighborhood? Switch it off.
Every community feature has a switch. The software has opinions about record-keeping, and none about how chatty your neighborhood should be.
Biscuit the spaniel has got out again
The demo has a forum, a clubhouse booking and two missing pets. Sign in as a homeowner.
