SLOWLY - Make pen pals from your smartphone

by

Available today, the new pen pal app ‘SLOWLY’ lets users write and receive letters from anywhere in the world. In the era of instant messaging, we hope to provide a platform and connect users who want to share their passion at a slower, but better pace – one letter at a time.

Please enjoy!

I love getting physical mail, can't wait to try this out.

@kleneway Ahhh, actually the letters are still digital. I am trying to simulate the more complete pen pal experience into mobile. But like Dylan said above, you could always ask your pen pal if he'd be up for switching to physical letters :)

Design rocks. It's really reminds me an old times.

@perpetuous Thanks Segrey!

I love the idea and philosophy behind Slowly. Instant messaging is fine, but waiting for the letter to come it is almost so exciting as waiting for Christmas presents! Can't wait for Android version of Slowly and try it out for myself. @kevin_wong1 can I sing up somewhere for Android release notification? :)

Enjoying the app! Will there be a desktop version in the future? Would be nice to have the ability to create/view drafts in a larger view, clean up spelling/grammar, see how much I typed (make sure I typed enough for it to be worth the long wait), translate words...etc. I find myself hopping in and out of the app to construct a message and also using my laptop for typing. Thanks for creating this lovely app!

@chelseabeachem I wish too! Desktop version may take a longer time to develop, I will add to my To-Do list :) Let's see how far @slowlyapp can go :)

I'm curious as to if any inspiration was taken from my very similar project. https://www.behance.net/gallery/... Regardless, it's nice to see this idea being implemented into a real app.

@samdotdesign Interesting. But I didn't take reference from that.
