SoShiny Software Team is the collective byline for posts written by the people building SoShiny — engineers, product folks, and the board members we work with every day.
We write about what actually works for community associations: governance that holds up under scrutiny, communication that residents read, and software that doesn't fight the people using it.
SoShiny is association management software for HOAs, condominium associations, and housing co-operatives anywhere in the United States. Headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida. Built by people who've sat on a board.
