👋 Hello friends, old and new!
We’re delighted (and slightly sleep-deprived) to be back for our third Product Hunt launch; this time with a BIG milestone and a small screen.
A lot has happened since our last launch a couple months ago. So before we dive into what’s new, here’s a small recap-slash-flex(es):
We reached the Top 20 on the App Store in over 158 countries; including the US, UK, India and Australia
Maintained a 4.8-star rating even after surviving viral moments on TikTok, YouTube and across Reddit
Crossed 30k downloads on iPads and built an organic, active & cozy community of over 15K PenPals
Some fun stats from the community
Average person using Lettre spend over 60 minutes per session (video game levels of engagement!)
People across the world have sent over 100k lettres as of today and started over 70k new conversations
There are more than 250k artist-made stamps minted and traded as of today
Not bad for a weird little letter-writing app, right?Now for the Headline: Lettre.app is officially on iPhones & LIVE on Kickstarter NOW!
That means you can now write heartfelt letters with either a stylus... or your thumb (it’s not easy but it builds character)
What started as a little love letter to the lost art of communication has turned into a full-fledged postal playground, what started as a weekends and nightly project among a small group of friends has turned into a full-time commitment.
For those who don’t know, lettre lets you →
💌 Write and receive handwritten (or typed) lettres
🌍 Connect with global PenPals via continent-based slow post
📬 Collect and trade stamps all beautifully illustrated

🌟 Exclusive freebies; stationery + stamps (you can’t buy them at the Post Office!)
🦜 Fancy badges and shiny avatar frames
🚀 Express Mail + advanced filters ....... many more elite perks & bougie freebies!
☕ And yes, most importantly; the joy of buying us a metaphorical cup of coffee each month so we can keep the community running (membership costs less than the average latte)

Thanks to each and every one of you who have supported us and keeps supporting us in keeping the lights on, we’ve been able to keep this experience truly free -free of ads, spam and all sorts of creepy tracking.
