Introducing shaunSocial – A Self-Hosted Social Network Platform

I’m excited to share shaunSocial, a self-hosted social network platform for communities, schools, creators, and organizations that want full control over their platform.

Instead of relying on Facebook, Discord, or closed SaaS tools, shaunSocial lets you own your data, branding, rules, and monetization.

What is shaunSocial?

Think of it as:

WordPress, but for building social networks.

Key features

Activity feed, chat, groups & pages

Paid content & memberships

Reels / short video (Vibb)

AI chatbot & AI moderation

Progressive Web App (PWA)

Plugin-based & customizable

Web + mobile apps

We’re actively developing and currently on v1.5.x.

Who it’s for

Schools & universities

Paid communities & creators

Startups launching niche social platforms

Organizations needing ownership & flexibility

I’m sharing this here to connect with other builders and learn from the community.
If you’ve worked on social platforms, communities, or monetization tools — I’d love your thoughts.
