The moment it works again. Find the people doing teardowns, hunting parts, and posting the first start-up video.
Restorers share a specific joy: the thing runs again. Tell Peachy you're into old cars, hand planes, or dead radios, and teardown threads and parts leads surface for you. The day someone near you lists a box of vintage tools, your phone buzzes before the box is gone.
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 restoration projects: cars, tools, furniture, anything.”
“Buzz me when vintage tools turn up for sale near Oakland.”
“Rust removal and refinishing questions, send them all my way.”

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.
