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.
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.
The bad news: @zenly is dead. I don’t know what to use and I’m sad! I’m sure you’ll come to regret that decision @evanspiegel.
Thank you everyone else for the extreme support ❤️
The good news: we’ve been working on cool new stuff with a few friends...

Snap does not let Zenly employees (who will all be laid off( list themselves on the Snap Talent Hub b/c they are technically still Snap employees.
So Zenly built a talent hub in a few days. It is way more slick vs what Snap has in place:

Epic response.
Snap argues that its Paris-based mapping app can never be profitable but must formally ask French regulators for approval to shut it down. Zenly employees are challenging that rationale. https://t.co/zGSazugzla
I'm still processing the news, my time at #Zenly was short but I'm proud to have been part of this adventure. I'll miss my coworkers, I'll miss this app #LongLiveZenly
