When was the last time we made a dedicated playlist, especially when they’re so easy to create today? What’s your best friend’s fave music genre? What’s the last movie they watched and loved dearly? Which book is on their bedside table? What’s on their travel bucket list? Whatever happened to the little things that made you friends? We are connected online but did we lose our joy to the internet? My friends must know that I’m stupidly crazy about pop music. I can recite each and every word of Perfect by Ed, without a dare. I 10/10 recommend trying buffalo mozzarella in Naples. The Prisoner of Azkaban is the best Harry Potter film in my modest opinion and no game tops Stardew Valley for me.

They, my friends, shouldn’t have to second-guess the things I hold dear. These things, after all, are the joy of my life. Joy needs time, care, and love from those around me. That’s why we’re building Openvy. To cherish our joy, to have things to talk about, and people to talk with.

Naturally, we spend a good part of our day online. Not only for work but also to get to know each other, as friends. To our dismay, we’ve discovered no place on the internet that brings all our favorite things to talk about and our favorite humans together. That’s why we hope to build this place for you. A place of joy, with our favorite things, and favorite humans. A place for all your online personas—where you can list your quirks and talk about the finer things in your life. Curate your life’s little joys.
