Buddyboss looks promising. I bought a license for the boss theme to use with their fork of the platform. Some observational points:
The boss theme is nice, but is missing some very basic functions on the mobile version (search being one). Support would not say when it would be implemented, just that it is “on the todo list”
There is no dedicated support forum for buddyboss (at least that I can find). As a paying user, you do get access to the support ticketing system. But a forum for (even paying) users would be nice.
Their feature “roadmap” is “coming soon” and has been for at least a month
Their ‘Get Support’ is also “coming soon”
Their “Contribute’ is also coming soon
At this time they are giving a hard sell on their product licenses. Including a “lifetime deal” for $1000.
Don’t get me wrong, as a developer I am happy to pay for features that will serve my customers, but without the above items (especially the feature roadmap), I am very reluctant to shell out more cash for something that “might (never) be”.
So for now it is a waiting game with a periodic pinging of their website to see when and if anything changes.
