One day, one room, the people building the frontier.
Event / community
Meetinghouse
A membership site with a front door, not a feed.
Best for: Community operators who want joining to feel like being welcomed into a room, not subscribing to a feed.
The people who get it are already in the room.
Overview
Paid communities die as content feeds and live as places. Meetinghouse is a landing page and member-screen set for a dues-based community built around that idea: a join page that shows the week as it actually runs, dues tiers with a guest visit and a concession policy, and member screens — the Commons, the roster, a gathering page — that make belonging legible. The demo community is The Proofing Room, a guild for independent bakers, and its story reconciles end to end: the week on the landing page is the week in the Commons, and Thursday's shaping night holds the same 18-of-24 tally from the hero pinboard to the RSVP button. Swap the guild for your own community by editing config — rooms, chapters, dues, and the week are all data.
