Late-afternoon sun over the Blue Ridge from a Skyline Drive overlook, with red and gold autumn trees and the Shenandoah Valley below

Skyline Software · Shenandoah Valley, Virginia

Software made on the ridge, for the towns below it.

The food pantry, the chamber, the bookstore on Main, the 5K that funds the library. Skyline makes the software they run on: four standalone products for volunteers, relationships, gift cards and events, and The Word, our community app.

We make The Word, the app where a community checks in.

Members follow the charities and shops they care about, find out what is on this weekend, and show up. The Word is our own app for the people of a town. Our four products are sold separately and work for any organization, on The Word or not.

The Word
  • Follow local charities, businesses and communities
  • Find events happening nearby this week
  • Volunteer, give, and keep a record of your impact

How we build.

Three rules that run through every Skyline product. They come from watching small teams do the work of twelve, and from what goes wrong when software acts on its own.

A person says yes.

Automated emails and texts wait for approval. A scraped event is a proposal until someone approves it, unless the organization has chosen auto-approval.

Nothing is lost.

Changing a setting never un-registers anyone. Stale records are archived, never deleted, and every change keeps what was there before so it can be undone.

Notice people.

Software should make it easier to notice who showed up, never easier to stop noticing them. The thank-you should go out while the moment is fresh.

Made for the organizations that hold a town together.

Charities, chambers, schools and the businesses that sponsor them. Most start with one product. Some add another later.

Nonprofits

Volunteers who come back.

Run volunteer events with real onboarding, keep every relationship in one record, and get your events in front of people looking for something to do.

Why "Skyline"

Named for the road along the top of the Blue Ridge.

Skyline Drive runs the crest of the Blue Ridge above the Shenandoah Valley. From any overlook you see the whole valley at once: the farms, the towns, the church steeples, the school. That is the view we want to give the people running things, so nobody who shows up goes unnoticed.

      Our name

      The view from the overlook.

      Skyline Software is named for Skyline Drive, the road along the crest of the Blue Ridge in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Our mark is the view from one of its overlooks.

      Why mountains

      The Blue Ridge is old and worn round. It looks blue from a distance because of the haze the forest gives off. Every ridge in the mark is a step further into that blue.

      Why a road

      The Drive connects the overlooks without joining them into one. Each product is its own stop, with its own view. You can pull over at one and drive on.

      Why autumn colors

      Product colors come from October on the ridge: sumac red, hickory gold, the pine that stays green, and the clear sky over all of it.
