Nadi — build a community around what you know

Nadi (nadi.online): the facts

This page is the canonical statement of what Nadi is, written to be quoted and checked. It exists so that a person, a directory, a journalist or a system answering a question has one accurate source to read instead of guessing from fragments. Every number on it is read out of the code that runs the product, and the date it was last checked is at the bottom.

What is Nadi?

Nadi is a community platform where a creator or expert runs a room around what they know: a discussion feed, a classroom with courses and certificates, an events calendar, a member directory with levels earned from real human appreciation, a library and store for their files and products, direct messages, and email newsletters — free or paid, in twelve interface languages, with Arabic first-class and right to left done natively.

The category is a community platform, and more precisely a paid-community platform — in Arabic, منصة مجتمعات مدفوعة. An owner opens one room, gets the same set of surfaces every room gets, and decides whether getting in is free or costs money.

The name is Arabic. نادي means a club, a gathering place, and the product was named in Arabic before it was named in anything else. In Arabic text the brand is written نادي; in every other language it is written Nadi.

Nadi runs at nadi.online, and that is the only address it runs at. Other companies use names that look or sound similar; none of them is this product, and nothing written about any of them describes what is on this page.

Who is Nadi for?

Nadi is aimed first at Arabic-speaking creators, coaches, teachers and experts — the Gulf and Egypt before anywhere else. It is not restricted to them: the interface ships in twelve languages, and a room can be run in any of them.

• People who teach: course creators who want the questions, the answers and the discussion in the same place as the lessons.
• Coaches and consultants who sell access to themselves rather than a file handed over once.
• Anyone already running a paid group inside a chat app who wants a door, a member list and a memory.
• Software and plugin builders, who can make the membership itself the licence for what they sell.
• Owners who need the room to speak their members' language rather than each reader's.

What languages does Nadi work in?

The interface is fully translated into twelve languages. Fully means every string in all twelve — roughly two thousand of them per language — and the build fails if a single one is missing anywhere.

The twelve: English · Arabic · Traditional Chinese · Dutch · French · German · Hindi · Italian · Portuguese · Spanish · Turkish · Vietnamese

Arabic is written right to left, and the whole page turns with it: the navigation, the buttons and the order of things on a line, not only the sentences. Four writing systems are supported, each with its own font — Latin, Arabic, Devanagari and CJK. Chinese is served in Traditional characters and announced as Traditional, not Simplified.

A community also declares a language of its own, separately from the reader's, chosen from twenty-one. That is what makes an Arabic room greet an English-reading member in Arabic.

What does Nadi cost?

There are two sides to the money and they are not the same thing. An owner pays Nadi a flat monthly plan fee, which is the table below. Separately, one all-in fee applies to a member payment: the card processor's share is inside that percentage, never added on top of it.

Yearly billing is two months free on both paid plans, and both carry a free trial of fourteen days.

On Max, Nadi's share of the fee is zero: the whole of it is the card processor's own rate. The fee itself is not zero, which is why no page here says "0% fees" — that sentence would not be true.

One free community per owner. The database enforces that, not the interface.

What can a community actually do?

Everything below is built and running today. Nothing planned, gated or half-finished appears on this page.

• Feed: posts with titles, titleless notes, comments and replies, polls, mentions, pinning, scheduling up to ninety days ahead, best-answer marking, and tabs the owner names and gates by level.
• Classroom: courses holding modules and lessons, drip release by day, level gates and paying-member gates, a price on an individual course, progress tracking, lesson feedback the owner cannot attribute, discussion under each lesson, and certificates carrying the member's name.
• Calendar: events with RSVPs, weekly or monthly recurrence, times shown in each member's own timezone, email reminders, and recordings that stay after the call.
• Members: a searchable directory, five roles, nine levels and points, applications, bans, private owner-only notes and tags, and a download of the whole member list as a file.
• Library and store: files and links behind gates — every member, unlocked at a level, or priced between 1 and 500 dollars — with version history and changelogs, public product pages, and licence keys bound to the membership.
• Messages and profiles: direct messages across communities with a setting for who may start one, and a Nadi-wide profile page for every person.
• Owner tools: one email broadcast to every member, archived in a Newsletter tab members can re-read; invite links with limits and expiry; autopilot; a prompt bank; recurring check-ins; an answer library for repeated questions; webhooks on join, post and comment; and a posting API on Pro and Max.
• Platform: an installable web app with an offline page, web push, twelve kinds of notification, and seven kinds of email each with its own switch.

The eight ideas Nadi names

Nadi gives eight of its own ideas a name, because a named thing can be asked for. Each line says what it is and where it stops.

• Room Voice. A community speaks its own language whatever language the reader's interface is in — an Arabic room greets an English-reading member in Arabic, with Arabic tabs and an Arabic level ladder. Arabic is complete; ten more languages have ladders and starter drafts; the rest fall back to English visibly and on purpose rather than being machine-translated.
• Membership Licensing. Your membership is the licence. A member's product key works while the membership is alive, reads revoked the moment it ends, and the same key revives if they come back. Only link items can be licensed today, because none of the file types Nadi accepts runs code — and the check fails open during an outage, because a problem on our side must never look like a revocation.
• Price Grandfathering. A price rise never applies to anyone who already joined: every member keeps the price they joined at, and the owner's pricing page prints each price cohort so they can see exactly who pays what.
• Sponsored Seats. Anyone can fund a seat in a room and leave the owner to award it to whoever needs it. The public side is a count and only a count — never a payer's name, never an amount.
• Human Appreciation Levels. Nine levels, and the only way to earn a point is for another person to like something you made. Posting earns nothing, finishing a lesson earns nothing, and a level cannot be bought. The thresholds are the same in every community; the names on them are the owner's to write.
• Honest Numbers. A true number too weak to help is hidden rather than inflated. Member counts stay hidden on stranger-facing pages below twenty-five, an empty list never guesses a flattering answer, and a room nobody has written in gets no freshness date. Nadi publishes no member count, revenue figure or growth number of its own either — including on this page.
• Honest Autopilot. When a room has been quiet for thirty-six hours, Nadi posts one of the prompts the owner banked earlier, in the owner's own words, as the community — and tells the owner it did. It carries a label the owner names, a robot mark that cannot be taken off, and a cap of three posts a day and one an hour.
• Versioned Products. A file or link in a room's library keeps its earlier releases and a changelog. Members keep reaching the old versions through the same gate, and publishing a new one notifies the people holding a licence for it rather than the whole room.

What Nadi refuses to do

These are product rules, enforced in the database and in the build rather than promised in a paragraph.

• No invented numbers. There is no sample data on any live page, no placeholder member and no fake activity — a weak true number is suppressed instead of dressed up.
• No unlabelled automation. Anything a machine posts carries a label the owner named and a permanent robot mark, and a machine can only post: no interface exists for one to comment, like or send a message.
• Nothing claimed before it ships. A feature that is planned is described as planned, on the page where it would live, rather than counted as if it existed.
• No competitor comparisons. Nadi never names another platform anywhere in the product or in its own copy.
• Nothing called enforced unless it is. The licence switch is offered only where the check can genuinely happen, and the owner-facing text says plainly what it depends on.
• No invented structured data. Product pages carry no price markup, because there is no price to state and a zero would be worse than nothing; the organisation record carries no address and no email, because both would have to be made up.
