Clothbound: Friendship Album

Create a private friendship book one page at a time. Write a memory, choose when it opens, and send it as a link. Nobody starts their own Clothbound. Somebody starts it for you. A link arrives. Behind a wax seal there is one page, written for you by a person who knows you: a memory you had both half forgotten, a thing they never said out loud, a letter meant for a day you will need it. Press and hold. The seal breaks. The book is yours from then on. Then it grows. Friends, family, and people you have not seen in years each add a page, one at a time, for as long as the book exists. HOW IT WORKS 1. Write one page for one person. A prompt card gives you the first sentence, so nobody stares at a blank screen. 2. Choose when it opens. Right away, on a hard day, when they miss you, on their birthday, or on a date you pick. 3. Send it as a link. They open it in a browser. No account, no app required, nothing to install. 4. They keep the book, and can ask anyone else to add a page to it. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT One unopened page per person at a time. Nobody can stack letters on you, and a page arrives with weight. Receiving is free forever. Nothing anyone wrote you is ever put behind a payment. No feed, no likes, no followers, no strangers. A page is private between the writer and the person who owns the book. Export every page as plain text whenever you want, and delete the whole book permanently if you ever want to. The owner of a book can remove any page and block its writer, silently. GOOD FOR Birthdays and milestone years. Graduations and last days of school. Moving away, long distance, the friend you keep meaning to call. Weddings, new babies, retirements, leaving parties. Someone going through a hard stretch who should read something true on a Tuesday afternoon. KEEPSAKE (OPTIONAL, ONE TIME) Four more cloth covers and a print-ready layout of every opened page, so the book can become a physical one. It never touches what somebody wrote you. Made by ELSEFORTH.
