How Rayr? works

See something? Say something. Rayr? is a place to post what you notice around you, propose a fix, and move it forward in public with people who want to help.

  1. 1
    Notice something
    A broken reader at the station, a library outlet nobody can reach, a sign that sends people the wrong way. Anything around you that could be better.
  2. 2
    Say it
    Post it in four short parts: what you noticed, where, what you'd change, and what you need. Add a photo or a video link if you have one.
  3. 3
    Others join in
    People upvote to say they've noticed it too, click Count me in to help, comment, and message you directly.
  4. 4
    Move it forward
    Only you can post updates on your idea. Each update sets a stage: Noticed, Proposed, Trying it, Done, or Parked, so everyone can see whether it's moving.

FAQ

What is Rayr?
Rayr? is a place to post something you've noticed around you, propose how to fix it, and move it forward in public. It's built by Beyond the Grade on one idea: creative confidence, the courage to try your ideas out.
What makes a good post?
Be specific about what you noticed, where, and what you'd change. Say what you need: a contact, a collaborator, or nothing at all because you're going to try it yourself.
What are stages?
Every idea has a stage: Noticed, Proposed, Trying it, Done, or Parked. The owner changes it when they post an update, so everyone can see whether an idea is moving.
What does Count me in do?
It tells the owner you'll help. Your name appears on the idea, you get notified when it moves, and either of you can message the other.
What's an update?
Only the idea's owner can post updates. Each one is a new step in the idea's timeline and shows up in everyone's feed as "Update 3 on …".
Who can see my posts?
Everyone. Ideas, updates, comments, and any images you attach are public. Don't upload documents you wouldn't want strangers to see.
How do I get notified?
Upvote, join, or comment on an idea and you're subscribed to it. You'll see a badge next to Notifications whenever it gets an update.
