Testing Phase: What It Means
While Sledge is fully functional, we're calling this a testing phase for good reason. We're actively gathering feedback from early users to refine the experience and identify areas for improvement.
What you can expect:
- All features work as intended - you can host real experiences and accept real payments
- Occasional updates as we polish the user interface and add quality-of-life improvements
- Direct communication from our team - we're actively listening to feedback
- A growing community of early adopters who are shaping the platform's evolution
By joining now, you're not just using the app - you're helping build it. Your feedback directly influences how Sledge evolves.
Why Launch Now?
We believe the best way to build a platform is with real users, real experiences, and real feedback. Rather than perfecting every detail in isolation, we're opening the doors to our community.
"Technology should empower people to connect more meaningfully in the real world. We've built the foundation - now it's time to see what the community creates with it."
Sledge was built to solve a real problem: organizing real-world experiences is unnecessarily complicated. Whether you're teaching guitar lessons, hosting a weekend hike, or offering massage therapy, the process of managing signups, collecting payments, and coordinating participants shouldn't be a barrier.
Now it isn't.
What's Next?
This launch is just the beginning. Here's what we're working on:
- Experience Requests - Soon you'll be able to request experiences you want to join, and hosts can respond with offers
- Enhanced Discovery - Better search, filtering, and personalized recommendations
- Community Features - Following your favorite hosts, saving experiences, and building your network
- Expanded Payment Options - More flexibility for how hosts structure pricing and how participants pay
Season 1 of our ranking system launches October 1st, with dynamic platform fees that reward active hosts and a community rewards pool that gives back 2% of public session revenue directly to hosts. The earlier you start, the more you benefit.
Join the Journey
Every platform starts with its first users. By downloading Sledge today, you're joining a community that believes in the power of real-world connection.
What you can do right now:
- Download the app and create your first experience
- Browse what others are hosting in your area
- Share Sledge with friends who might benefit from it
- Send us feedback - we read every message
We've spent months building the infrastructure, refining the experience, and preparing for this moment. Now it's time to put Sledge in your hands.
Do things. Get things done.
