The Minecraft app is such a good example of what’s possible on Root. None of this is possible on other communication platforms and this is just 1 of our apps! Just imagine all of the possibilities when we open the App Store to all developers. I’m so excited!!
Hello Rootcrafters! Command Block has spawned!
Now you can track your Minecraft servers, chat with players, and explore the map!
Here's what's available:
-Server Information
-Player Online/Offline viewer
-Analytics on the Minecraft server (Track player's activity and stats)
-Chat (See what happening in the in-game chat without Minecraft open)
-The Map! (Powered by our RootCompanion plugin with SquareMap)
(Note: Certain features are admins-only like add/remove player items)
We hope Minecraft fans can jump in and test the Command Block app with friends!
We'd love your comments, suggestions and feedback!
and as always... thank you all for your support!

New Root apps just launched…
▪ Raid planner for the homies to organize raids on WoW, FF14, or whatever your party is grinding this week
▪ Task tracker so everyone knows who’s doing what
▪ Sticker wall for celebrating wins, dropping reactions and spamming stickers when the boss is defeated
…stay tuned as more apps are on the way!
We’ve been building the Apps infrastructure for literally years. Having deeply integrated apps to do anything your community needs is a game changer. After you see it, other platforms feel prehistoric.
Someone recently asked how @rootappofficial is going to compete with Discord and Guilded.
Sharing some of my thoughts, more to come soon.

Building a next-gen communication platform is something I’ve been thinking about for many years. It’s been a long journey to get here, but I’m so happy to finally talk about @rootappofficial

We’re hiring!!
Platforms such as Slack and Discord focus on raw communication (i.e., voice and text chatting), however, this is not enough for modern online communities. Today, it's all about collaboration. A Minecraft community organizes in-game events, a drawing community sketches ideas on shared canvases, a poker community runs weekly tournaments, an indie game studio collaborates on a shared backlog with their early adopters, a streamer sells their merch, and so on.
The next generation communication platform is not just voice and text; it includes voice, text, and collaboration. There are so many exciting challenges in this space, and we're looking to hire people who share the same passion as we do.
We're hiring React engineers to help build out our App platform, and we're also looking for a talented WebRTC expert. If you know any awesome engineers, please send them my way! Plus, if we hire anyone you recommend, we'll give you a finder's fee :) PM me for more info.

We’re also in the process of redoing our website to give you guys a chance to really learn about what we’re building over here.
Hopefully it’ll show just how much thought we’re putting into building an intuitive and beautiful communication platform
Also - if you know any amazing engineers in LA, send them my way. We’re building some cool tech and I think any engineer that likes being challenged will have so much fun working at @therootapp
It is literally a dream come true to be able to wake up everyday and work on my own company and build something I’m truly passionate about. I’m so excited for the future.
We're starting to make example plugins on Root. This is the start of a blackjack game and the important thing to notice is that the game was developed COMPLETELY separate from the app. However, the game is able to tap into Root's real-time infra to communicate instantly!!
I'm so excited to share what we've been working on for the last couple years. Building an app at this scale is a giant task and it has truly been a crazy journey. Any support would mean the world and if you're interested in following the project, head over and join the waitlist!
Root has been designed from the ground up to be the first extensible communication platform. Not only can you build custom client-side experiences, but you can also build custom server-side experiences that go along with it and utilize Root's real-time infrastructure.
