Features currently being developed
Essential
High Priority Fixes
This feature includes a variety of high priority fixes for Spirit Collective, from registration page improvements, to minor tweaks in the course pages, to style improvements on the profile pages; things we just need to get done so the site looks and feels amazing!
Essential
Site Speed & Optimizations
The goal of this feature is to make the overall site run faster and smoother. Currently, things are a bit bloated, and we simply need to remove things that may be loading in the background that aren't needed. This will improve page load times, improve the mobile experience, and make...

Light/Dark Mode
This would add a light/dark mode toggle switch in the menu so that you can make the entire website/app light or dark themed. Some people prefer dark mode because it is easier on the eyes. We currently have light/dark mode for courses, but this would extend the functionality across all...

Spirit Collective Mobile App
The Spirit Collective Mobile App is what we all really want. Most people use social media on their mobile devices, so getting the mobile experience to its highest potential is priority. The Spirit Collective App will be a native app, meaning it won't just be a wrapper around the website....

Spirit Chat App
Spirit Chat will be the companion app to Spirit Collective dedicated to instant messaging. Spirit Chat will allow you to do everything other big brand messaging apps do, such as audio and video calls, secure end-to-end encryption, reactions, group chats, and more. The best part is it is seamlessly integrated...

Essential
Enhanced Store Pages & Product Displays
Store pages are the public-facing storefronts where vendors showcase their offerings. Though we've made some improvements already, we're upgrading the experience further to make stores more performant, visually appealing, and better suited to different product types. Services and courses will get dedicated layouts that highlight their unique features, while products...
Essential
Enhanced Profile Pages
Profile pages are the heart of Spirit Collective's social experience. We're transforming them from basic social profiles into rich, engaging user hubs inspired by the best of modern social platforms. Premium vendors will get quick store access, all users will see faster-loading tabs, and the Timeline will become an informative...
Essential
Enhanced News Feed
Your news feed should feel as smooth and responsive as the best social platforms. Right now, interactions feel slow and clunky - clicking reactions takes several seconds to respond, there's no way to share posts, and the overall experience doesn't feel as polished as Facebook or Instagram. We're overhauling the...
Essential
Enhanced Product & Service Creation
Creating products and services in your store should be simple and intuitive, but right now the interface is overwhelming and confusing. We're completely redesigning the product and service creation experience to make it as easy as possible for anyone to list their offerings. What we're improving: Cleaner Interface Unified experience...
Help Documentation & Learning Resources
While we're working hard to make Spirit Collective intuitive enough that you rarely need help, sometimes you'll want guidance on advanced features or best practices. We're creating comprehensive learning resources so you can get answers quickly. What we're building: Help Documentation Searchable knowledge base covering all features Step-by-step guides for...
The Command Station
The "Command Station" will be a unified dashboard unlike anything you've seen on any other platform. It's where we make all of the many parts of Spirit Collective whole. From your command station, you will be able to scan, manage, and engage with all parts of your Spirit Collective network....
Google Calendar Integration
This will allow your calendar in the Vendor Dashboard for Services (bookings) to sync with Google Calendar.
Translations
Let's translate Spirit Collective into as many languages as possible! This feature would add mostly automated translation to Spirit Collective that translates the entire platform to your region's primary spoken language. In addition, we may manually translate some parts to ensure accuracy (if we can find translators).
Gamification with Achievements & Point System
The gamification feature will make Spirit Collective even more engaging and fun to use! Gamification serves many purposes, beyond simply making things game-like. Achievements serve the purpose of engaging members in using, learning about, and exploring Spirit Collective further. Points serve as a way to (optionally) show off what you've...
Product Auctions for Vendors
Sell your products as ebay-style auctions directly from your vendor dashboard. Set a reserve price, buy it now price, bid increments etc. Your customers can place a bid, or if buy it now is enabled, they can buy it instantly.
Gift Cards & Store Credit
This feature will help vendors and Spirit Collective grow. Spirit Collective would sell gift cards that can be applied anywhere across Spirit Collective and from any vendor. When customers use gift cards, Spirit Collective reimburses vendors, so vendors continue receiving real money without any change. Alongside this feature, we would...
More Map & Geolocation Features
Spirit Cloud - Personal & Community Cloud Storage
A community platform is the perfect place to integrate cloud storage for many reasons: you might be on here all the time anyway; you might upload lots of photos, videos, and files already; and if we could make sharing those files (including very large ones) with others easier, that would...
Vendor Store Exports & External Marketplace Imports
We've had a few requests for the ability to import or connect Spirit Collective with other marketplaces such as Etsy or Shopify. This feature would make things much more convenient for you as a vendor if you already have a store on another platform! Completion of this feature may unlock...
Marketplace Makeover
If you're a vendor, you'll definitely want this feature! Customers too will love the improved experience. The goal is to make the shop more visually stunning and easy to navigate, while showing off vendors and stand out products. This will drive sales and help Spirit Collective grow!
Social Login
This feature would add more options for the "Social Login" when you go to login to your account. We already have social login for your Google, Facebook, and X account, but this feature would add more for LinkedIn, Apple, and Microsoft accounts. Social Login will become even more useful when...
Unified Spirit Collective Calendar
Currently, there's two different calendars on Spirit Collective: the course calendar and the Services calendar, and they aren't connected. This Feature will make them work together so everything can be seen in one place. While we're at it, we'll spruce up the calendar to make it more powerful so you...
Web3 Federated Integration (Joining the Fediverse)
Joining the fediverse means Spirit Collective would connect with a larger, decentralized network of communities powered by Web3 principles. Instead of being locked into one platform, our members could interact with users across Mastodon, PeerTube, and other federated apps—sharing posts, media, and messages beyond Spirit Collective while keeping control of...
Cryptocurrency Payments
This feature would allow customers and vendors to use cryptocurrency as a payment method, in addition to the current payment methods (credit cards and PayPal).
Profile Customizability (MySpace-Style)
Remember when your online profile truly felt like YOUR space? We're bringing back that magic, modernized. This feature will allow users to customize their profile's appearance with different themes, color schemes, backgrounds, and layout options. Think MySpace 2.0 but refined, safe, and beautifully integrated with Spirit Collective. Users will choose...

Features that have been implemented
Essential
Contact/Support Page
We need to create a contact/support page that anyone can use to get in touch with Spirit Collective. The name of the page is yet to be determined, but the page will serve the function of providing information for users, communicating directly with the Spirit Collective team, and resolving issues.
Essential
PayPal for the Marketplace
This will allow vendors to setup PayPal for their store. Their customers will be able to use PayPal as a payment method, and vendors can receive payouts via PayPal.
Essential
Affiliate Friend Invites (AKA Community Partners)
This is a feature that will allow premium members to invite new members to Spirit Collective and receive a percentage (20% to 40%) of the invited member's premium membership fee. Update: This feature is now completed! Check it out by clicking this link!
Essential
Vendor Setup Wizard & Checklist
Essential
Group/Community Zoom Integration
This allows group managers to enable a Zoom integration for live group Zoom calls directly in Spirit Collective.
Essential
Build a Development Roadmap Page
You're looking at it! We built this page for multiple reasons: so you can see what we are developing, so you can vote on what we develop next, and so we can stay organized as we nurture and grow in this amazing platform together!
Feel free to request anything, no matter how big or small. Even small tweaks can be added since we sometimes combine many tweaks into one larger feature (or we might just make your change immediately if it's easy!)
