Hi friends : )
This is my first post here, so let me tell you what Zuzu Club is, why it exists, and what your support helps it become.
What is Zuzu Club?
Zuzu Club is a whimsical website for your feelings. You can:
⭐ Let Go: write a worry into a glowing star and watch it fade into the night sky. Private, and gone when you close it.
☁️ Sky of Thoughts: share a feeling as a floating emoji, read what others feel, and tap "Me too" or leave a kind reply.
💬 Chat: talk one to one with a kind stranger, to vent or to listen. And when no one is around to chat, the AI Companion is there.
It's free and anonymous, with no signup, no ads and no paywalls. Good vibes only.
Why I made it
I've been lucky. Good friends, a close family, people I can call. But a while ago, even with all of that, I needed somewhere to just say a thing out loud. Not to be fixed. Just to be heard.
Everything I found felt cold, full of ads, or like a waiting room. So I made the place I wished existed: calm, a little magical, and kind.
How it's going?
Since September:
10,000+ visits
640+ chats between kind strangers
120+ feelings shared in the Sky, and 120+ worries let go
people from 109 countries
Tbh, I'm still a bit overwhelmed by that.
What your coffee does?
I make Zuzu on my own and pay for it myself. It has cost about $1,000 to build so far, and it costs under $100 a month to keep running: the servers, the safety tools, and the AI that listens at 3am when no one is around.
Every coffee goes straight into that. You get nothing extra for it, and that's on purpose. Zuzu will never lock anything behind a paywall.
My first little goal: cover one month of running costs ($100) with your help. That keeps the light on for everyone for a whole month.
What support helps it grow int
more kind listeners and a better Listener guide
a gentler, safer AI Companion
new small rituals, like a nightly Let Go
one day, a nonprofit around Zuzu, so it belongs to the people who use it
Can't give right now? That's completely okay.
The biggest help is free: share Zuzu with one person who carries a lot and says very little. 👉 zuzu.club
And if you'd like to, you can buy me a coffee right here on this page ☕
Thank you for being here. Truly.
