Freelancers, indie makers, and shop owners trading what actually works: pricing, first customers, the month it finally clicked.
Making a living on your own terms comes with questions your salaried friends can't answer. On Peachy, the freelancer who finally raised her rates and the shop owner who cracked slow Tuesdays write down how, and their posts find the people who need them.
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.
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.
“Surface revenue milestones and how people hit them.”
“Tell me when someone asks about pricing freelance work. I've been through it.”
“Show me people running one-person businesses in Oakland.”
Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.
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.
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.
