Frond is a refreshingly simple take on forums. Growing your community here is effortless, fun, and free to start. Today we are launching Public Communities and a bundle of new features, which make Frond the easiest way to start any type of community. 🐣
You asked for communities to be more open, public, and searchable – and we listened. We’re proud to introduce Frond 2.0, which now offers public communities. With public communities, visitors can view all groups and content without having to sign into Frond, offering greater visibility into your community.
This not only improves discoverability but also promotes conversion from visitors to active members. Plus, your community content can now be indexed by search engines.
While public communities are the major highlight, they are just one of the numerous features we've been busy building:
- Direct messaging for 1:1 communication
- Search capabilities
- Advanced community permissions
- Private groups
- Polls, roles, and pretty community URLs
- Pinned posts to highlight important content
- Activity digests to keep your community updated
- Welcome posts and member introductions
- Community insights dashboard
- Rich commenting
- Localization in German, Spanish, French, and English
- Plus approximately 858 other improvements and fixes
For those of you who have previously tried Frond, we'd be thrilled if you gave us another try. Our product has seen significant advancements since we launched the first Beta, and we’re confident you’ll appreciate the changes.
In case you missed it, we announced last week that we are open-sourcing Frond – underscoring our belief in the power of community and user autonomy. You can read our announcement at: https://bit.ly/frond-open-source
Your feedback is the cornerstone of our progress. If you have any thoughts, queries, or suggestions, please let us know, or better yet, join our customer community at https://frond.com/frond and share it with everyone. We’re always eager to hear from you.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, let's build stronger, more vibrant communities!

Hey Frond Team!
Wow, looks like you guys have been putting in the work! As someone who’s big on creating engaging content (over at Videodeck we're all about making rad videos for SaaS companies 😄), I can totally see the value in having communities that are more open and searchable. It's a game-changer for discoverability! Direct messaging and pretty URLs are the cherry on top. I'm definitely intrigued to see how these features play out. Cheers to building vibrant communities!
Outstanding effort! Creating a community here feels like a mad dash, and the interface? It's a symphonic symphony of simplicity. There is no jargon, only clean templates. Naturally, I'm here to offer my congratulations and a great rating!
Congratulations on the launch. It looks really impressive. How is it better than FB private groups?
Congrats on the launch of Frond 2.0! What kind of new features does it offer to help grow user communities? What tech stack does it use? Looking forward to hearing more!
Frond 2.0 seems like a design powerhouse. Can you highlight one standout feature that sets it apart from other design tools?
Congrats on Frond 2.0! How user-friendly is the interface for beginners in design?
Very good design! Pretty sure dark mode is in your todo list.
Some critique: I think the template is too generic and basic. Targeting everyone and noone at the same time. I would love to see such a product tailored to a specific group of communities e.g. NFT-community, Digital nomads, Chef's etc. with tailored features specific to their needs. Otherwise the benefits/differentiators over existing (free) solutions are not that significant.
I've been a Frond user for a while now, and I'm excited about the new features in Frond 2.0. What inspired these changes?
I really enjoy how easy Frond makes building and growing a forum.
And now with Public Communities, the possibilities are endless.
