Manyplace: a virtual campus for working or studying around others
A virtual campus for students and builders who want to work or study around others.
Problem it solvesWorking or studying online can feel lonely without the social energy of real places.
The maker built Manyplace as an online experiment to recreate the feeling of working or studying in a peaceful library or café. After a post about it, more than 700 people signed up from 90 countries, and V2 now adds a bigger campus and private places for friends.

I built a virtual campus where you can work on your project or study around others. Like at a real campus, library, or café. One month ago, I posted here to introduce Manyplace (many.place), an experiment to recreate the feeling of working or studying around others in a peaceful library/café, but online. Thanks to that single post, more than 700 people signed up, from 90 different countries! I really didn’t expect it at all and couldn’t be happier! I created Manyplace because I felt that some great real-life places had quite a special social energy which made working, studying or reading so comforting and easy, and I was missing that on the internet. Seeing everyone there after the launch, I think I got a glimpse of that same energy and it made me even more obsessed with it. Today, I am happy to release V2 of Manyplace, which now becomes a bigger and more immersive place: a whole campus! It was created with Unreal Engine and Blender (you don’t render it in real time, don’t worry! Any device can run it). After some requests, this update also brought private places for people who just want to be with their friends. If you are a student or someone working on a project/startup and would sometimes appreciate being in good company with likeminded people, you are more than welcome here :)) I would also love to know what you think of it!
