A closer look at Buildside on mobile

Your founder community can fit into the moments between building sessions. Download Buildside for iPhone from the App Store and sign in with your existing account, or use the website on your phone.

The installable web app provides another home-screen option on supported browsers. Supported offline features and push notifications depend on the device and browser; connected community activity still needs an internet connection.

Make it useful

Catch up with the founders you follow

Return to the products and people you care about while you are away from your desk. Read their updates, open the product context, and continue a conversation when you have something useful to add.

From idea to action

How to get started

  1. Choose the app that fits your device

    Download the iPhone app from the App Store, or open Buildside in a supported mobile browser.

  2. Sign in with your Buildside account

    Use your existing account to return to your community, products, and conversations. For the web app, use your browser’s installation option when available.

  3. Set up the notifications you want

    Enable supported push notifications and review your preferences so updates fit around your work.

Find your starting point

Stay connected between building sessions

Use mobile access to catch up on a discussion, respond to feedback, or read an update when you are away from your main workspace. Return to desktop for longer writing sessions when that suits you.

An example to adapt

Example: continue a collaboration on the go

A founder replies to your product question while you are away from your desk. Open Buildside on your phone, read the conversation, and respond with the context they need to continue.

Make the most of it

Choose a sustainable notification routine

Enable the updates you find useful and revisit your preferences as your community grows. Check connectivity before relying on fresh information or sending a time-sensitive reply.
