CommuneNet

This is a submission for the Wix Studio Challenge: Community Edition.

My Community Platform

CommuneNet is a place where different people can come together to solve problems and share ideas. You can blog, chat, join groups, take part in forums, and find resources here. It's like social networking but also for serious projects to make a difference.

Development Journey

CommuneNet
Using Wix Studio's tools, we made a website that fits what our community needs. First, we figured out the main things we wanted, like forums, booking events, and sharing resources. Wix Studio's tools helped us build and customize these features.

With Velo, we made the site easy to use and interactive. Velo let us add cool stuff like real-time updates and forms you can interact with, making the site feel fun and engaging. We could easily change data and control how the site works, making the experience smooth and easy. By using APIs like the Wix Data API and Wix Window API, we made sure the site works well and is simple to use.

Overall, Wix Studio and Velo helped us create a great space where our community can connect and grow.

VeloAPIs

We used several Velo APIs including:

Wix Data API: To handle and get data from our collections.

Wix Window API: To control browser properties and respond to interactions.

Wix Location API: To manage site navigation.

Wix Apps

We added various Wix Apps to improve our platform:

Wix Bookings: For setting up and managing events and workshops.

Wix Forum: For discussions and sharing knowledge among members.

Wix Blog: For sharing news and updates about community projects.

In conclusion, working on CommuneNet has been amazing. With Wix Studio and Velo, we created a platform that brings people together to share, learn, and grow. We are proud of the supportive community we built and can’t wait to see how members use it. Thank you for this opportunity.
