amo

Where did our friends go?? The bike rides. The sleepovers. Your first cigarette. Gossiping about your latest crush. Being consoled when they break your heart. Discovering a new city. Re-discovering your own (at 2AM). The hungover brunches. The tears. The laughs. The love. So many of the moments that shaped us were shared with friends. And then those moments started happening online. Posting photos from last night’s party. Tagging your latest situationship. Poking your roommate (whatever that means??). It was exciting and well intentioned, but something got lost along the way. The platforms that were built to bring friends closer together became places we go to scroll through videos… of strangers. We’re entertained, but where did our friends go? We started amo because we believe that friendship still deserves a place online. We’re a group of friends who have spent our lives building stuff for friends. And now, we’re getting ready to share something new for you and your crew. We call it amo. And to us, amo is more than a company. It’s a friend affair, « une affaire d’amitié ». Something we’re making for you, but for us too. Our first idea is almost here. We hope you love it as much as we love making it. Welcome to amo. https://amo.co/

“…at zenly the decision to use Rust came from the strong conviction of 1 team member, but fast forward to amo and there was pretty much consensus from everyone to use it from the get go” We’re rethinking social apps from the ground up — and building them in Rust. Sylvain Laperche, a Backend Engineer here at amo, recently spoke with Drew Capener from filtra.io to discuss the amo founding story, our in-person work culture, and of course our use of Rust in the tech stack! https://lnkd.in/eEsGC8Mb

🆕 It's time to BUMP! A new feature just landed on our location-sharing app to help friends celebrate when they're spending time together and invite others to come join. (It's so fun to use, we decided to rename the app after it) And with the new OMW! supersend, friends can now see the best route to meet up and follow their friend's journey progress via a live activity on their lock screen. Plus, a very early version of Bump is now available on Android! ^^This is just a handful of new things that we shipped in April — and there's much more to come.

The friend map is back :) Location by amo is the app that puts your friends on the map — from checking in on your crew to making moves to meetup. Brought to you by the original team behind location-sharing app Zenly. • See where your friends are right now, in real time. • Check their status, like how long they've been there and battery level. • Get directions to them in one tap or via your favorite ride-sharing apps. • Communicate on the go with super sends (show some love, knock to get their attention). Then enjoy the night without the stress of your battery running low — Location is the most battery-friendly location app ever built! On amo, your profile, friendships, feed, and settings are shared across the apps. Trying a new amo app takes no time at all as your info (and your friends!) are already waiting for you.

You are more than a profile pic and a grid of edited photos. You are everything you wear, say, do, and love — a beautiful and chaotic mess that means you’re human. ID by amo is a new kind of social profile that you make with your friends, on a limitless board. No grid to curate, followers to collect, or meaningless story replies. Just you and the crew, sharing what makes you, you. Welcome to amo. Just friends.
