LetterMe is a non-instant communication app that brings the experience of letter-sending to modern times. Delivery time depends on the physical distance between sender and receiver, making each interaction special. The goal is to provide a slower communication channel where people can have more meaningful conversations without the need to reply instantly. Key features: • You'll get a notification when someone sends you a letter, but you won't know their identity until it arrives. • Customize Your Letters: Say goodbye to plain text – choose your preferred font and paper color to make your letters feel more special. • Track your letters and watch them travel across the world until they reach their destination.
