Miss you

Better than “miss you” in a chat.

Three finished cards are on this page — not pictures of them, the real thing. Tap an envelope and read what comes out. If one is close to what you would say, the link underneath opens the write page with those exact words already in the box.

Three cards, already made

Tap an envelope to open it. Nothing here is sent to anybody — these are samples, and the links below them open the write page with that note in the message box, which is as far as any of it goes. We never ask for the other person’s number: you get a link at the end and you send it yourself.

  1. For your wife · Lilac, formal script

    Tap the envelope

    I miss you. The hotel is fine, the food is fine, and none of it is anything like home. I keep thinking of things to tell you and saving them up for later. Four more days, and I'm counting them properly, not in the casual way.

    Write this one for your wife
  2. For your boyfriend · Sky, casual hand

    Tap the envelope

    I saved up four things to tell you today and I've already forgotten three of them, which is how I know it's been too long. I miss you. Everything I did this week would have been considerably better with you narrating it.

    Write this one for your boyfriend
  3. For a friend · Ivory, the default hand

    Tap the envelope

    Something happened today that only you would have found funny, and I had to explain it to two people who didn't. That's when it hit me. I miss you. Let's get an actual date in the calendar rather than saying soon again.

    Write this one for a friend

The names on these three are made up. The words are the suggestions we wrote, which is exactly what you get in the box — and then you change whatever is only yours.

What you are buying

₹49 is the card itself: up to 400 characters in your own words, the envelope, the wax seal, and the paper unfolding when they open the link on their phone — which is what the three above are doing. You see the finished thing, working, before you pay for it.

₹99 adds a photo, or a voice note of up to a minute in your own voice — one or the other, not both — and lets you seal the card so it will not open before a time you choose, anywhere from fifteen minutes to thirty days ahead, Indian time. Either card stays readable for ninety days, counted from when you send it or from when a sealed one unlocks.

The paper, the envelope colour, the wax and the handwriting are all yours to change while you write — the three above are three of the combinations, not three fixed designs. There is no account to make and nothing recurring. We do not know when a card is opened, and we do not tell you.

Distance is mostly made of days when nobody says anything in particular. A card that arrives on one of those days, sealed, with their name on it, is worth more than the same words typed at midnight.

This one asks who it is for first, then offers suggestions to start from.
