Hey Product Hunt!
I really miss when the internet was a fun place to discover new things. When you could find a random website from someone, somewhere else in the world and learn something new or play a little game. Now, my phone is either boring, or endless doom scrolling. So I wanted to build something that I could be excited about every day, for just a few minutes, and would connect me to real people and experiences.
That led to Lost Post. Every day, there's one single question posed for everyone to answer. It might be a creative prompt, it might be about a memory or a story you have, or something else entirely. If you respond to the prompt, then the next day, you'll receive someone else's response for that prompt, from somewhere in the world, anonymously.
My hope is that it's a fun, mindful way to learn about other cultures and perspectives and experiences. That it's something I (and maybe you) can look forward to for a few minutes each day. It's like a new pen pal every day, or...non-social social media.
I've built a lot of fun little easter eggs into the app too. You can send a reaction to someone's card to let them know it meant something to you. You can customize your postcard and make it truly yours. You can collect country stamps from people around the world and fill out your passport book. And you can unlock little achievements (that may unlock new features or customizations).
Please give it a try for a few days and let me know what you think!
p.s. If you have any ideas for writing prompts, I'd love to hear them!
