Reimagining Campus Community Conversations

Campus communities deserve better than what many currently relies on: volunteer-run Facebook Pages or Telegram Channels coupled with Google Forms for anonymous submissions.

Current Reality

  1. Continuity Crisis: When volunteer administrators graduate or move on, entire community spaces often disappear, erasing valuable knowledge and breaking community bonds.
  2. Participation Barriers: Without proper privacy controls for anonymous engagement, many community members hesitate to join important conversations or share valuable perspectives.
  3. Conversation Chaos: Unstructured threads and limited organization tools make following and participating in anonymous discussions unnecessarily difficult.
  4. Frustrating Delays: Manual review process for Google Forms submissions creates lengthy waits between questions and responses, stifling real-time community interaction.

Introducing xaround

Built exclusively for campuses, xaround unites these fragmented experiences into a cohesive platform where communities thrive:

  1. Institutional Memory: Communities persist beyond individual administrators, preserving knowledge and maintaining continuity.
  2. Thoughtful Anonymity: AI-powered moderation and merit-based reply system ensures quality conversations while protecting privacy when needed.
  3. Structured Engagement: Intuitive threading and organization makes following discussions natural and engaging, whether anonymous or identified.
  4. Immediate Interaction: Post instantly, with AI moderator working behind the scenes 24/7 to maintain community standards.

xaround exists because I genuinely believe campuses—universities and colleges—deserve better. This is my best attempt to create a platform that I wish had existed during my university years but wasn't possible pre-LLM.
