Would be nice if there was a place where you can go to log in with your PauseAI account and see all sorts of relevant stuff:

One year ago, I would have said "this is too costly, we can't do it". But now, vibecoding stuff like this is feasible and we should try to do it.

Some architecture ideas and questions:

Can we use Lovable (LLM powered scaffold vibecode tool, uses Supabase + NextJS)? It does export full github repos so gives us freedom. But Supabase is not airtable. Idk.
How do we integrate email stuff?

@anthonybailey.net do you have some initial thoughts?

One piece of general pushback is that true vibe coding gives you something that works today but probably gets really rotten and painful pretty fast.

The pushback on the pushback is

"something that works today" may be better than nothing even if it incurs technical debt
it seems likely that refactoring and evolving 2025 vibe code is something 2026 assistants get great at, due to demand
also shut up old man

But sure. A dynamic portal for the minority of active members that has two new surprising tools every week and people understand might break and use anyway: sure, we should support that.

I think it should be essentially separate from pauseai-website, and deployed differently.

Supabase is not airtable. Idk.

Airtable is barely Airtable as imagined.

How do we integrate email stuff?

Be specific re the "stuff"?

For sending from pauseai.info addresses, Google Workspace has us covered. But I think you may have meant something different.

(Sorry to still not have played with Twenty.)

Would paying for a dedicated community organisation platform be worth considering? My former employer used Action Network to deliver a fair chunk of the functionality, there aren't all the features you described but definitely worth a look. You have the option of having a top level international group and nested sub-groups for national campaigns. Onboarding subscribers, sending newsletters, targeting specific users, campaigns and donations pages. GDPR compliance.

ControlAI have set up Microcommit which has some crossover

at my last project, we built this with https://www.discourse.org/

it includes several access levels for volunteers, leaders, and project groups, wiki-style pages for guides and knowledge bases, and an events calendar (although this would work better as links to local chapters).
