👣 Building a no-code community management workbook on Notion
Hi, I'm Pramod Rao, the CEO and co-founder of Threado, the command centre for community builders.
Before I started building Threado, I was one of the founding members at Zomato, which began in India as a restaurant directory and is now a public company with a $5.4 billion market cap.
I took a professional break, and during that time learned how to code.
I had 100+ conversations with community builders, and learned that there's a lack of resources to help them really do their job well. And they deserve more. This is what inspired me to start building Threado.
Introducing Threado
Threado's key offering is called Community OS. It's a workbook that helps community managers start, curate and scale their community.
The workbook is an actionable, modular dashboard built in Notion. It has checklists that allows community builders to;
- Break down their efforts into strategies
- Keep a track of their progress
- Get invaluable battle-tested strategies, and
- Observe what’s working in the community and what isn’t
Users can either move through the entire workbook if they're unsure where they need most help in their community journey, or they can sort all resources alphabetically and pick and choose what they need.
Using Notion to build Community OS
The entire workbook has been built on Notion. Community OS stretches the Notion's limits because of how packed it is with resources.
We initially used Notion for our internal wiki. As we explored all its corners, we realized how intricate the tool is. There's nothing you can't do with it from a content creation perspective.
Since Notion was so deeply rooted in our day-to-day activities, it made perfect sense to use it to actually build our tool. The challenge was figuring out to leverage every part of Notion so we could offer the best possible resource.
It took time, and many ideas that didn't pan out, but eventually we made it.
Taking a leap of faith
To anyone who has been on and off with the idea of building something — do it. Take that leap of faith. It’s not that scary.
The worst that could happen is that it might not work, but guess what, the second time, that leap of faith will turn into a leap of confidence.
