10minsApp builders › Community & social app

On the roadmap

A social app for one community, not everyone

Feeds, follows, posts and creator payouts for a community with something in common. On the roadmap, not built yet.

  • On the build roadmap
  • Creator payouts planned
  • Not available today

Not available yet. Community & social app is on the 10mins build roadmap and is not something you can launch today. Everything described below is planned, not shipped. If you need to be live this week, the apps listed at the bottom of this page are built and taking signups now.

What Community & social app will be

Nobody needs another general social network, and everybody with a real community is currently renting one from a platform whose incentives point the other way. The planned social app is for the specific case — a trade, a diaspora, an alumni body, a fandom — where a feed of people who genuinely share something is worth more than reach. Moderation and reporting are core to it rather than added later. On the roadmap, not built. People looking to build a community app rather than rent one from Instagram, WhatsApp, ShareChat or Facebook arrive here.

Planned: feeds and follows

A feed of the community rather than of whatever an advertising algorithm decides will hold attention.

Planned: moderation built in

Reporting, blocking and moderator tools designed in from the start, because a community without them does not stay one.

Planned: creator payouts

Paid posts and payouts, so the people making the community worth being in are paid by it.

What you can launch instead, today

Content and subscriptions

The podcast and streaming apps ship today with paid subscription tiers, a branded viewer app and your own subscriber list — the closest working equivalent if what you sell is content behind a paywall.

A paid community, today

If your community is built around content you make, the podcast and streaming apps are live with paid subscription tiers, push notifications and a member list that belongs to you. That is a paid community in everything but the feed.

Anything sold by the seat or the slot

The ticket booking app sells cinema seats, bus and train departures, flights, ferries, concerts, sports and park entry, with real seat maps and an offline gate scanner. If your business sells a fixed number of places at a fixed time, it already fits.

Questions people ask

Can I launch a social app today?

No. It is on the roadmap and not built. If your community is centred on content you produce, the podcast and streaming apps ship today with paid tiers and your own member list, which covers a paid community without the feed.

Why does moderation come up first?

Because a social product without reporting, blocking and moderator tools becomes unusable quickly, and retrofitting them changes the data model. They are being designed in rather than added.

When will it launch?

No committed date. It sits in the social group on the roadmap, after the marketplace group.

Would creators get paid?

That is the plan — paid posts and payouts through your own gateway, so the money moves inside your community rather than through 10mins.

Can I build a social app like Instagram or ShareChat today?

No, it is on the roadmap and not built. If your community is built around content you make, the live podcast and streaming apps already give you paid tiers, push notifications and a member list that belongs to you — a paid community in everything but the feed.

Other apps you can launch on 10mins

Something else can be live today

This one is still being built. Thirteen other apps on 10mins are not, and they launch in the same ten minutes.
