  1. Public build begins

    Xzerno is officially being built in public.

    Today marks the beginning of Xzerno's public build. The first goal was to create a clear place where people can understand the idea, join early access, and help shape what gets built.

    Completed
    • Launched the public Xzerno homepage
    • Opened early-access registration
    • Opened private product requests and feedback
    • Published the Privacy Policy
    • Published the Terms of Use
    • Published the Community Guidelines
    • Created the initial Xzerno logo and brand direction
    • Established Chicago as the initial launch focus
    Building next
    • Design the roommate onboarding flow
    • Define living rules, deal-breakers, and flexible preferences
    • Design the roommate discovery experience
    • Create transparent compatibility explanations

    Product decision

    The first version will focus strictly on helping people discover potential roommates. Xzerno will not begin with apartment listings, rent payments, leases, shared expenses, or unrelated housing tools.

  2. Next update

    Roommate onboarding and the first profile-creation flow.
