@briannekimmel Collecting membership dues, automated renewals, and sophisticated plans are must have features of paid clubs. WildApricot/ClubExpress do a good job in that regard but they’re lacking on the social side and are really outdated. Room for someone to eat their lunch and then some.

@briannekimmel WildApricot and ClubExpress are widely used by paid clubs but they’re awful.

I’m building a replacement. Launching a pilot soon with the SF Triathlon Club where I’m an organizer. Looking to add other clubs if you’re interested!

@kochakian @ProductHunt @kochakian sign me up, always wondering why there wasn’t anything good out there

Excited to launch @TryClubhouse today! I created Clubhouse to make it easier to meet new people and make friends. I found the best way to do that is by overcoming challenges together. @ProductHunt https://t.co/I3oJeOtrGZ

Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.
