About the Community App

Hearth is a community app design template built around a "Warm Commons" look: a paper-cream canvas, deep cocoa ink for text, and a terracotta clay accent saved for primary actions and active states. Sage green carries tags and reactions while dusty gold marks badges and highlights, and every avatar sits inside a thin sage-to-gold "hearth ring" so any cluster of people reads as alive and welcoming.

The template ships six connected screens that form a complete community flow: a personalized Home Feed of felt-tile posts, a Discover grid of communities by interest, a Community Detail with Posts, Events, and About tabs, an expanded Thread with nested replies, a Local Meetups events list with RSVPs, and a member Profile with badges and recent activity. Tonal panels separated by soft color shifts (no hard borders), generous rounded corners, and a floating bottom dock with a morphing terracotta blob give it a hand-made, never-sterile feel.

Use it in Sleek and make it yours: restyle the palette, edit any screen with AI by describing the change, and add the flows your product needs. Then export it to code, copy it into Figma with no plugin, or hand a prompt to an AI agent to build it for real, all far faster than starting from a blank canvas.

Screens included

Home Feed

A warm greeting ("Welcome back, Priya") sits above a horizontal row of joined communities as ringed avatars, then a scrollable feed of felt-tile posts with author, community tag, body text, attachments, and reaction chips. The daily landing spot that keeps members coming back.

Discover Communities

A search bar over a bento grid of community cards by interest (Outdoors, Food, Tech, Wellness & Yoga), each with a tinted photo cover and member count. The browse-and-join surface for finding your people.

Community Detail

A hero forest banner, the club name in rounded slab type, member count and location, a terracotta "Join Club" pill, and tabs for Posts, Events, and About. The hub that sells a community at a glance.

Thread

A single post expanded with its photo, clap and comment tallies, and nested replies under thin sage hairlines, plus a sticky composer with image and mention controls. Where conversations actually happen.

Local Meetups

A This Week / Next Week / Upcoming filter over event cards with date blocks, times, locations, RSVP avatars stacked in hearth rings, and attendee counts. Turns online groups into real-world meetups.

Profile

A member avatar in a gold ring, bio, earned badges (Founding Member, Top Helper), club and post stats, joined communities, and recent activity. Shows who a member is across the community.

Questions, answered. Everything to know before you start.

How do I build a community app from this template?

Click "Use this template" to open it in Sleek as your own editable project, then shape it by describing the changes you want: restyle the palette, edit any screen, and add the flows your product needs. You start from six complete screens instead of a blank canvas, so you reach a working community app design far faster.

What screens are included in this community app design template?

Six connected screens: Home Feed, Discover Communities, Community Detail, Thread, Local Meetups (events), and Profile. Together they cover the core flow of a real community app, from finding groups to posting, replying, and showing up to meetups.

Can I customize the community app UI design?

Yes. Use the template in Sleek and edit any screen by chatting with the AI: restyle the warm palette, change layouts, swap photography, and add or remove flows. There's no manual redraw; you describe the change and it's applied.

Can I copy this design into Figma?

Yes. Sleek copies your design straight into Figma with no plugin required, exports it as code, or hands you a ready-made prompt that an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor can use to build it into a real, working app.

Is this template suitable for a meetup or club app?

Absolutely. The Local Meetups screen with date blocks and RSVP avatars, plus the Community Detail and Events tabs, map cleanly onto club, hobby, or neighborhood meetup apps. Adjust the categories and content to fit your niche.

Is this community app design template free to use?

You can open and explore the design for free, then use it in your own Sleek project to build on it. Editing and exporting follow Sleek's standard plans.
