Open source in Berkeley

Maintainer talk that doesn't fit in an issue tracker: burnout, funding, growing contributors. Say what you care about and it finds you.

Somebody merged your first PR once, and it mattered. Tell Peachy which corners of open source matter to you: maintainer sustainability, new project launches, first-timers who need a hand. Those posts surface for you, and when someone's stuck on their first contribution, you can be the one who shows up.

Berkeley packs a remarkable number of scenes into a few square miles. Tell Peachy you're looking in Berkeley and posts from people nearby surface for you, whether they're up in the hills, down by the marina, or a few blocks off Shattuck. The rest of the East Bay is one "a little farther" away.

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.

“Surface project launches and calls for contributors.”

“Tell me when someone needs help landing a first contribution.”

“Maintainer sustainability and funding talk. I have opinions.”

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.
