Calistree Forum

A crazy (or not?!) idea…
Seeing this feedback platform makes me think that it would be nice to have a Calistree users forum. In this forum users can answer other users training related questions. And maybe, if Calistree know of users that are certified coaches they can be labeled so users can get more attention to a certified coach answer.
Some questions will probably be suggestions on how others use the app. For example, a question I curious to ask is how other users log in 1 1/4 aka 1 1/2 reps, if anyone else is even using this method.
The forum can be on Calistree’s website, where it will probably be easier to create than on the app.

I feel like the reddit page already works like a community forum (https://www.reddit.com/r/calistree/). I'm not sure creating a separate forum would offer much benefit.

Louis Deveseleer I was not aware of the Reddit page. I guess I might create a reddit account. :)

Pini Oh that's good to know... There is a link only in one place in the app, and in the official emails. I think we could add a link to the social media channels in the profile settings page, alongside the "Contact us" button...

How about this? I was just working on that page todaty.

Louis Deveseleer sounds good. Is there a facebook group as well?

Louis Deveseleer looks great.

I think everyone can post there too, so theoretically it could also serve as a forum, but nobody has ever done that yet. It looks like most people turn to reddit when they have questions to ask. Which is fine with me, I prefer using reddit anyway.

Louis Deveseleer this is a brand page, not a facebook group. There’s a big difference. A facebook group is highly recommended. Anyway, I don’t use facebook or Reddit so for me it doesn’t matter. :) I guess you should delete this request because it turned out to be a conversation between the two of us but not a request. 😉

Pini Oh I didn't realize that, my use of Facebook is so limited :-/
I could create a Facebook group... But if we could get everyone to use mainly one place instead of being split into several, it might be better, so maybe I'll just leave things as they are.
In the early days, I also had a Discord server, which I envisioned becoming the main forum place, but it never got any interest and I wasn't sure how to promote it so I ended up stopping it. But it makes me think that the general interest for discussions between Calistree users is not large enough to justify creating a new forum place.

Louis Deveseleer a Facebook group is what will probably be a better way to create a community. It is where users will interact with each other, share progress, answer each other questions, etc.
It is not necessarily require you to answer all questions. If anyone will ask a question there it will probably be a question for fellow users rather than a question for you.
I’m not a social media specialist (I actually don’t like social media) but as far as I know, a Facebook group can be a great value for Calistree. It can probably help get more users eventually. Many apps and programs have facebook groups. Many of them have a topic related group, for example “calisthenics” group, but their interest is also the promotion of their products. I’m not a fan of this method though. I prefer a real community.
If this is something that you are curious to learn more about I strongly recommend you to do some research on it. 💪🏆

Pini Thanks, I'll do some research into it!
