A love letter to the devs <3
What is it, that makes this app so great? In essence, aren't we just dealing with a chatting app and a timer tagged to the delivery?
How does it capture the spirit of writing letters? And how does it improve on it?
How is it so damn addicting?
In my opinion, what makes this app work so wonderfully, is the refreshing weight of a conversation. Receiving a message is no ordinary thing anymore - It's part of a ritual. Every day, you wait for the next text to arrive and wonder, how your pal might responded to your last letter, because those at the same time pack more emotion, more intimacy and more weight. They easily gain importance in your life, because they truly are something special - They are the ups during your day, the little things that make you smile - especially, because they are so rare.
Now build a friendly UI, a simpel but working matching system with the option to pick pals yourself and you get this app.
I genuinely think that SLOWLY is wonderful and powerful tool to connect to people and make your letters count.
That is messaging done right. Props to the developers - I admire your work.
