platformOS Community

Hi everyone! 👋

We've just rolled out a round of updates to the Community platform — and this one is all about making it easier to stay connected without living in an open browser tab. Here's what's new:

💬 Chat is smarter about keeping you in the loop

• No noise, just news — if you've already read a message browsing community via desktop, we won't ping you about it again. You only hear about things that are genuinely new.
• See where you're needed at a glance — conversations with unread messages are now clearly highlighted in your chat list, and your most recently active conversations always appear at the top.
• Easier to follow — message times now show in your own timezone, and timestamps only appear when there's a real pause in the conversation, so busy chats look cleaner. @mentions also reliably link to the right profile again.

✉️ Verified members from day one

New members now confirm their email address when signing up. It's a small step that makes a real difference: it keeps spam accounts out and ensures notifications and messages actually reach everyone.

👥 A fresh look for Groups

Groups have a new, cleaner layout that makes it easier to find what's happening and creating groups and events is smoother than before.

🔗 Links you can trust

Links to posts and discussions are now cleaner and more stable — copy one, share it anywhere, and it'll take people exactly where you meant.

✨ Plus the usual polish

A batch of smaller fixes across the platform: correct event timezones, improved translations, and various visual touch-ups.

We just kicked off our SOC2 (Type I in a month-ish - Type II in about 4 months) and ISO27001 compliance certification.

ISO27001

Once completed, we are going to provide ALL of the learnings for Channel Partners using Dedicated Private Stacks, so they too can easily get SOC2 and/or ISO27001 compliance for their solutions, at a small monthly fee on top of the monthly dedicated Private Stack fee (as an optional add-on).

Everything is 3rd party Penetration Tested and 3rd party CPA Audit - this will be an ongoing process.

We will keep you posted and you will see the compliance logo's on our site in due course.

We've just published Part 3 of our Not a Cage, But a Compass series.

This time, we're moving from concepts to real examples. The article walks through four engineering experiments that helped validate the ideas introduced in the previous parts, and, in some cases, arrived at conclusions that the wider AI ecosystem later reached as well.

If you've been experimenting with AI-assisted development, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Which use case feels the most relevant to your own projects today?
