how it works

Seven small steps.

You can learn the whole app in a couple of minutes. Here is the shape of it, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Make something

    Type a thought, a feeling, or an idea, and Posy paints it in its house style. It is free, a few a day, and you can try it before you ever sign in.

  2. 2

    Start a crossing

    A crossing is one real question with two honest sides. Write the question, name each side, and open it up.

  3. 3

    Say your piece

    Write what you actually think, in your own words. It becomes a piece of art. Slide the marker to show where you stand.

  4. 4

    Bring the other person

    Share the link. They add their take from wherever they are. Now both sides sit next to each other, calmly.

  5. 5

    Meet the gardener

    The gardener reads both takes, names the real thing underneath the argument, and shows each side at its strongest. It never picks a winner.

  6. 6

    Grow the posy

    When you find where you actually meet, one shared piece grows from both of you. That is a bridge built, and it counts toward your name here.

  7. 7

    Wander the Commons

    Everything that blooms lands on the home feed. Witness the ones you like, water the ones you love, and start your own whenever a question is on your mind.

That is all of it. The rest you will pick up by doing.
