Topia 2.0: Improved UI and New Features

Topia came into existence in the most exciting of ways – as a curiosity-fueled endeavor that was quickly and collectively evolved by a community of passionate creators.

Over Topia's lifetime (only 16 months!) we've come together to imagine a space where we can all come together – a place that inspires us to create and connect in new ways and that tells a different story about what it means to socialize online.

This week marks an exciting milestone in Topia's evolution – and a huge leap forward into making our community's dreams a reality. That wouldn't be possible without all of you, our fellow creators...

We're overjoyed to announce the launch of a completely new user interface and improved user experience.

This is more than just a new UI. It's a complete rebuild of the Topia platform and elevates us from an interesting project into a beautiful and highly performant product. This is just the beginning for Topia; this new platform will enable us to build features and systems much faster as we accelerate into 2022.

What we're calling "Topia 2.0" reflects months of creation and exploration between our team and global community – and is only a starting point for what we have planned.

Consider this a jumping off point, an easier and more intuitive way to experience Topia.
