A card for no reason at all
Kindnotes is a card you can send on a Tuesday: a sealed envelope that opens on their phone, a note in your hand, one link. No occasion required. The ones with no occasion are the ones people keep.
A card that arrives with no birthday attached says the one thing an occasion card can't: I thought of you when I didn't have to. That's the whole message. The rest is what you noticed.
Write the small thing. The way they answered the phone. The thing they said last week that stuck.
The design for it
The envelope, in whichever sky matches the day. About the envelope.
How it works
1. Pick the design
The envelope, the polaroid or the locket. Each one is drawn and animated by hand.
2. Write the note
It sets itself in a handwriting hand and fits the paper. A photo and a voice note if you like.
3. Send one link
It opens on any phone, no app and no account. You keep an edit link; changes go live on theirs.
What to write
Start with one specific thing. Four ways in:
- No reason. I just thought of you when
- This isn't for anything. It's because
- A small thing you did that I've been thinking about:
- Tuesday card.
Questions
- Isn't it strange to send a card for nothing?
- It is the least strange card there is. Nobody has ever been annoyed to get one.
- How long should it be?
- As long as the thing you noticed. The paper fits itself to your words, and a long letter opens full screen.
- Can I send it anonymously?
- Your name goes on the front. A card for no reason works because they know who it's from.
