Lost Post is the app the Web needs right now
Daydrift B.V.
There is plenty of awful going around the web lately, which makes me more alert to nice things I find across the feeds and newsletters.
The most recent is Lost Post, which brings back the postcard crossing idea and applies it to the iPhone. You get a writing prompt every day, like "what is a question you are always asking yourself?" or "What is the bravest thing you have ever done?".
The next day, you get someone else's response to that question, a stranger of whom you can only know their age, country, and maybe gender. And somehow their answer resonates.
We need that reminder that, somewhere in the world, there is a stranger with the potential to inspire our day and to make us feel seen, regardless of how much we may disagree on other things.
One postcard a day can bring us closer, and the world needs that, we need that.
