🧭 Concept Overview

Peachy is a social media app concept inspired by the spontaneity of Byte, the intimacy of Peach, and the cultural weight of early Twitter and Instagram. It reimagines social posting as a creative, low-pressure, feel-good experience — built for mutuals, not metrics.

🎯 Design Goals

  • Rekindle the joy of posting just because

  • Prioritize personality over popularity

  • Design a UI that feels warm, customizable, and human

  • Embrace small-scale, genuine interaction

  • Reduce social anxiety through intentional UX decisions

🎨 Visual Language

Peachy’s design is built on color, emotion, and play. The interface is expressive, soft-edged, and full of character:

  • Vibrant gradients & bold background modes (e.g. “Lights On” / “Lights Out”)

  • Rounded CTAs and pill buttons for a friendly, tactile feel

  • Custom emoji themes for identity + mood

  • Clean type hierarchy with playful accents

  • Multi-format media grids and swipeable content

📱 Key Screens

  • Onboarding: 1-tap username creation, simple agreement to TOS, quick setup

  • Profile Creation: Choose a color vibe, emoji set, and write a bio like a sticker on your locker

  • Feed: Dual-tab system — Following (friends) and For You (curated randomness)

  • Profiles: Compact layout, no follower counts, customizable link, and media-first displays

💡 Interaction Choices

  • No follower counts — only mutual badges

  • Like counts visible only to the user

  • Verification is opt-out, not status-based

  • Media support for photos, gifs, videos in one cohesive post grid

  • Accessible customization tools without overwhelming settings

🧠 Philosophy

“Peachy is what social would feel like if it were designed by a group chat.”

Peachy isn’t trying to scale into a platform for brands or influencers — it’s a space for real friends, weird thoughts, and niche vibes.
It encourages creative posting, playful visuals, and lighthearted interaction — no pressure, just presence.
