@Figma @Contra What if online communities had a beach instead of just a chat room?🌊

Read fully🚨

Over the past few days, I’ve been building Partly - a browser-based virtual beach party where people can join instantly, create an avatar, explore a tropical island, chat in real time, dance to music, and hang out together.

The goal was simple: make online socializing feel more like being somewhere, rather than just sending messages.

No downloads. No VR. Just join, meet people, and enjoy the party. 🌊

✨ Features:

• Real-time multiplayer world

• Live chat with other players

• Interactive beach environment

• Party stage with music

• Campfire hangout spots

• No downloads required

🚨 Best experienced on desktop for the full beach party experience.

Everything runs directly in the browser, making it easy for friends, communities, and creators to connect and share experiences together.
