Software development in Oakland

The debugging war stories that never make it to blog posts. Say which languages and problems you care about and those conversations surface for you.

The honest engineering conversation happens between people mid-work: the fix that took three days, the tool that actually held up under load. Tell Peachy you care about Rust and gnarly concurrency bugs, and when someone posts exactly that, it's surfaced and waiting the next time you open the thread.

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.

“Surface posts about Rust, TypeScript, and systems programming.”

“Tell me when someone's stuck on a bug I could actually help with.”

“Postmortems are my favorite genre. Show me how things broke.”

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.
