Welcome to the SoShiny blog

Welcome to the SoShiny blog, our home for practical advice on running a modern community.
SoShiny is all-in-one association software for condos, HOAs, marinas, campgrounds, RV parks, and 55+ communities. Every feature is included on every plan: a full public website, searchable rules, documents, online voting, work orders, e-signatures, amenity booking, email broadcasts, a lobby announcement TV, and a real member directory.
Here we'll share guides for boards and managers, product updates, and the occasional honest take on what actually makes a community run well. Subscribe by bookmarking this page. And if you're not on SoShiny yet, you can start a free 30-day trial anytime.

Practical guides for self-managed boards, written by a board treasurer. About one a month.
SoShiny Software Team is the collective byline for posts written by the people building SoShiny: engineers, designers, 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.
