Practice groups, kind and useful feedback, and people also working through the fear of the podium.
Nobody gets better at speaking alone in a mirror. Tell Peachy you're working on it, and the practice group invites, feedback swaps, and open-slot storytelling nights surface for you, from people also learning to breathe before the first line.
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.
“Show me public speaking practice groups near Oakland.”
“Tell me when a storytelling night has open slots.”
“Surface people prepping talks who want feedback. I give gentle notes.”
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.
