Talk

Building discussions you can find again next year

Unlike a WhatsApp group, replies stay in threads and every post stays searchable for whoever moves in later. Each post goes to all members, your building or the committee.

All features

Threaded discussions

Replies stay under the post they answer

Each post keeps its comments in threads, so a committee reply sits under the question it answers. Nobody scrolls back through a group chat.

  • Create posts on any community topic
  • Threaded comments keep replies organised
  • Photos and files on posts and comments
  • Choose who sees a post: all members, your building, or the committee

Searchable archive

Find the old thread before you ask again

Search reads every post’s title and body. Someone who moved in last month can read the building’s past threads.

  • Search every post
  • New residents can see community history
  • Sort by newest, most popular or most discussed

Tags and pins

Tags, pins, and posts for one building

Tag posts by topic, from Help and advice to Lost and found, or add your own. Organisers and the committee pin what everyone should see, and a post can go to one building or the committee only.

  • Tags for your community’s own topics
  • Posts for your building only
  • Pin important announcements to the top
