城市裡偶遇的文字,是點亮生活的微光。 有些話,只想留給剛好走到這裡的人。 Glimmy 是貼在城市裡的隱形便利貼。 找個地方、拍張照、寫下此刻的心情,或一個藏在心底的小秘密,把它輕輕釘在你站著的這個座標上——只有真的走到附近的人,才看得見。 [走近解鎖] 陌生人的 glimmy 藏在街角、巷口、某張長椅旁,要親自走過去,它才會浮現。像散步時,意外撿到一張別人留下的小紙條。 [Glimmors 與群組] 和朋友互加 Glimmor、開一個小群組;你們之間的 glimmy,不管離得多遠,隨時都看得見。 [回聲] 在喜歡的 glimmy 底下留一句話。說不定,你就這樣遇見了一個,本來永遠不會交會的人。 [地點提醒] 走近一張 glimmy 時,手機會輕輕提醒你——無論那是你自己、Glimmors、群組,或某個陌生人留下的。就算 App 沒開著,也一樣。 [只活三天] 每則 glimmy 只停留三天,然後悄悄收進你的小抽屜。正因為短暫,才更想好好地,留下點什麼。 走到那裡,才看得見。 那些散落在城市裡的微光,正等著你經過。
