## What is dumb MESSAGE?

The future was supposed to be simpler.

dumb MESSAGE is one shared pixel canvas. You draw. Your friends draw. Everyone sees the same thing at the same time.
No feed to refresh. No followers to impress. No typing bubble making you anxious. 
No color because frankly, you’ll cope. 
There is no feed. There is no typing indicator. There isn't even color.

HOW IT WORKS
• Start a canvas and get an ID you can say out loud, like MINTFOX42
• Send the link. Friends open it and their ink shows up next to yours
• One finger draws, two fingers pan
• Point the camera at anything and stamp it as dithered 1-bit pixels
• Or talk — dictation turns your words into pixel type on the canvas
• DAY mode is reflective gray. NIGHT mode glows green
