01 · The person
Hi, I’m Abhiram N J.
I’m building Yuyu as a calmer way to bring people together. The starting point is simple: make free events easier to organise without turning every gathering into a transaction.
Because the best events are often the ones that begin with someone deciding there should be room for people to meet.
02 · The craft
Human intent, AI-assisted making.
Yuyu is shaped by Abhiram’s product decisions and built with the help of AI tools. They help explore ideas and accelerate implementation, while the care, trade-offs, and responsibility stay human.
The point is not to automate the thoughtfulness out of building—it is to spend more time on the details that make the product kinder and more useful.
03 · The invitation
Still becoming, alongside real communities.
Yuyu is self-hosted, privacy-minded, and designed to grow with the people using it for workshops, meetups, and meaningful gatherings.
It is a work in progress—one that stays grounded in the simple belief that software should make hosting feel more human, not less.
WHAT YUYU STANDS FOR
A few principles, held on purpose.
These are not extras to add later. They shape how Yuyu is designed, built, and operated today.
Free means free
No tickets to sell, payment flow to configure, or platform fee hiding behind the RSVP button.
Your space, your data
Self-host Yuyu and keep the operational choices, attendee relationships, and infrastructure in your hands.
Privacy is structural
Tenant boundaries, private storage, careful capabilities, and server-owned permissions are part of the foundation.
Built around people
From the first invitation to check-in and feedback, the experience should feel clear for hosts and guests alike.
ROOM FOR MANY KINDS OF COMMUNITY
Made for gatherings with a reason to exist.
Yuyu is for organisers who care about the room they are creating—not monetising the doorway. Big or small, one-time or recurring, the gathering stays at the centre.
Community meetups
Workshops
Campus events
Volunteer gatherings
Conferences
Clubs & collectives
