Hey, I’m Jacob. I built Agora.
Agora is a discussion platform organized around topic communities. You join communities by subject, then post, comment, and vote. Ranking comes from the community. Free speech is the default.
**What it does**
- Topic-based communities
- Posts, comments, replies, and voting
- Feeds like My Feed, Trending, Recent, and Top
- Light AI moderation for spam, pure off-topic content, and clearly illegal material
- Link previews, media embeds, profiles, notifications, saved posts, dark mode
**What it doesn’t do**
- It does not try to police opinions, politics, tone, or unpopular ideas
- It is not built around personalities or creator branding
- It is not a heavy moderation product
- It is not trying to recreate every Reddit pattern
**Why I built it**
I wanted a place for open discussion that stayed organized by topic. I also wanted moderation to stay narrow. A lot of platforms either scatter conversation across personal feeds or manage discussion through aggressive control. Agora is my attempt at something simpler: focused communities, open speech, and minimal interference.

This is still early. I’d love feedback from people who actually try it, especially on:
1. First minute after signup
2. Creating a post or joining communities
3. Whether the feeds feel useful
4. Whether the light-moderation idea is clear in practice
Thanks for taking a look.

Who hunted Agora?
Agora was hunted by Jacob McEndollar. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
