Peachy

Thanks @darren_wendroff ! We chose this business model because we aren't in the market to gain as many users as fast as possible. We want Peachy to be a place where genuine people actually want to be. By making the entry barrier slightly higher, this makes people think whether they /really/ want to be a part of Peachy's community. This also makes for a higher number of active users. We also offer a 2 week free trial that you can cancel at any time without being charged.

@chih98 Good for you guys, dating is broken, and I like your approach. I just hope there's enough of a network, but looking to use you when you launch Orlando, FLorida on android. If I'm still single :)

@darren_wendroff we hope you meet your match on Peachy! We're still growing, but make sure to sign up for the newsletter at www.peachyapp.io/wait to be notified when the android launches (sometime in 2019). Also, spreading the word in your area helps us more than you think! Tell all your friends about 🍑 Peachy! It really will help Peachy get to Orlando sooner. On a personal note, I've been to Orlando many times, it's such a beautiful place! Send some warmth to us in SF! 🥶

@huangdun ... And the name.

@huangdun @zeynopovski We went with the name Peachy mainly for the pun. We deliberately went with small pictures, prompting you to view the user's profile for a larger picture, so that people's content aren't immediately judged by their looks. If you have any ideas on how to improve Peachy, we would love to hear them here! -> www.peachyapp.io/contact

@margotcodes We totally agree with you. We want Peachy to be as inclusive as possible. At this time the Peachy algorithms just run off of gender expression. You can choose whether you want to see posts from men, women, or non-cis people (or any combination of the three). Allowing more gender and sexuality expression on Peachy is high on our to-do list as we grow. We're always open to suggestions on how to make Peachy better. Don't hesitate to contact us -> www.peachyapp.io/contact

@margotcodes @chih98 I wonder if there even needs to be a designation. This is a great idea built on establishing a friendship based on shared interests, so may lead to activity partners as well as dating.

@margotcodes @chih98 This is almost like a mobile, immediate version of MeetUp

@margotcodes @darren_wendroff Our original idea was to focus on the friendly aspect, but for now (while we grow) we are focusing on the dating aspect of the market. We're glad you think of us like a mobile version of MeetUp. While we aren't trying to mimic their product, we do want Peachy to be known as a more intimate app that brings people on dates! Thanks for all your support!

@margotcodes @chih98 @darren_wendroff I was thinking the same thing, but I hope people don't treat it like meet up. Peachy if you want to "date" and meet up if you just want a friend. The idea is nice and simple.

Thanks @stevefrompl, we're excited too!

@aazar_ali_shad Thanks for your support! Make sure to tell all your friends about Peachy and have them upvote us! 🙌
