Create a Fun Discourse Kindness Community for The Karma Party

Create a Fun Discourse Kindness Community for The Karma Party

Description I'm building something that sparks kindness, laughter, and connection. Not another corporate snoozefest. The Karma Party is an international kindness movement blending humor, truth, and community. Our socials are live, our first video is ready to drop, and now we need a vibrant online hub where our tribe can gather once directed by our YouTube launch video.

The vision Discourse-based community forum (BunSpace.com vibe, but for HUMANS who love kindness): • Profiles, avatars, and fun interaction tools Starter discussion categories: Homepage with our mission & Backstory section Blog/news section for updates Future-ready for extras like Karma Swaps (barter board), kindness challenges, and potential future low membership fee (first 3 months free — discuss best approach)

Style Cosmic journey colors, playful energy, and our mantra: Play Nice! plus Guarded. Guided. Grateful.

Hosting & Security Use DigitalOcean (or other Discourse-recommended host) — account in our name• Full SSL, strong security, and automatic backups• All credentials transferred at completion; remove your admin access

Budget: $333 fixed price, with potential for future projects as we grow. (I'm out of a job & doing this solo)
