Comment

Ay — Human Activity Proof & Community Events Network

It is a social network designed for people to share their daily activities. Users can organize events, build friendships, exchange messages, share posts, comment on posts, and make video or voice calls. Additionally, when you start a daily walk, it automatically tracks the timer, calories burned, and step count.

“Prove your activity and join us.”
We are happy to share the soft skills of yours that we have witnessed — from mindful presence and nature stewardship to direct neighborly mutual aid.

Ay is a full-stack human activity proof ledger, local community events coordinator, and peer-verified social platform. Built to celebrate authentic offline human actions, Ay enables members across 148,000+ cities worldwide to document daily mindful and community activities, vouch for one another's real-world efforts, organize neighborhood gatherings, and communicate in real time.
