How I envisioned my site to be...

Ability to customize personal profile pages like Dolphin. Have chat rooms (Rocket Chat) that admin could set up chat rooms and users could create rooms. Streaming. Users could create and schedule streaming events and charge people to view those events if they wanted. Viewers could sent points to the creator while watching the Live event (Twitch etc). People could send points to the author if they liked someone's video, post, etc...

Premium subscription would allow someone to upgrade their profile monthly or yearly by paying a fee..

This fee would allow them to customize their profile site like (Dolphin).

Create Streaming events allowing them to stream and get points from other users (Twitch).

Allow them to create personal chat rooms like Rocket Chat setup.

How has it gone so far?

No access to Streaming for UNA Cloud members to this date...

Rocket Chat like Chatrooms was abandoned or not supported or integrated as an UNA Mod...

Send Points/Credits as a button in drop down menu for posts, videos, sounds etc still not added...

Not able to modify Jitsi for UNA Cloud members (Get rid of Jitsi watermark)...

Meanwhile FB, Instagram, and other sites have fully integrated these concepts way after it was suggested here on UNA since 2019...

UNA sites need a way to sustain themselves and grow but they cannot if their content cannot pull people from big social media sites to offer alternative content. My site cannot grow or sustain itself if all it has to offer is what every other site already has. Communities cannot grow if members cannot also convince their friends to join either.

With no income coming in a site has to somehow offer what other sites don't have or compete, advertiser, pay for server fees, pay to integrate new mods/features....

This cannot be done if all alternative ways to make money while still offering a FREE platform is ignored or pushed to the side/delayed indefinitely. Most of us need a scalable way to generate money which is actually a healthy good way to keep and maintain a site

    • We love UNA, and I hope the team can address these issues you mentioned so we all can grow with UNA. Thanks for your thoughtful input.

      • Well, I've spend most of my time researching, and not that I had the time.... I just had to find the perfect product and so far, UNA does it for me, but only on a conceptional basis. All the modules seems to meet my requirements and I am blown away....The thing is I still have to put it into practice....tested the free version on local host and now going to cloud. We can remain optimistic because I've learned that we have become part of a very active team and I believe that all will be addressed in due time. I am out to make some money myself and can relate to your frustrations....anyway good luck
