Summary

We've successfully launched Netlify Community, a forum where users can discuss and share knowledge about the JAMstack and modern web development approaches. The soft launch allowed us to fine-tune the platform before opening it to the public, gathering valuable feedback from beta testers and stakeholders. This approach enabled us to identify areas for improvement, create custom integrations with our internal Slack workspace, and develop a robust moderation system. By doing so, we've seen significant increases in pageviews for Community, as well as enhanced user engagement and contributions. The platform is now live and open to everyone interested in the JAMstack and modern web development, offering features such as discussion forums, meetups, and resources sharing.
