Design in Oakland

Real critique, process breakdowns, and the tooling debates worth having. Tell Peachy that's what you're here for and it surfaces for you.

Designers get sharper around other designers. Ask for critique threads, process breakdowns, and tooling debates and they surface inside the busy conversation, the rest one tap away in time order. When designers in your city plan a portfolio night, you hear early enough to polish your best three screens.

Oakland has always run on word of mouth, and Peachy is built for exactly that. Say you're looking in Oakland and posts from people across the town reach you, from Temescal to Fruitvale to the Lake. Say how far you'll travel and the rest of the East Bay comes with it.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Show me design critique and process posts.”

“Tell me when designers in Oakland plan a portfolio night.”

“Typography nerd here. Surface the type talk.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
