Slowly lets you meet pen pals from your smartphone! Match with someone that shares your passions, write a letter, and collect stamps from around the world. Speak your mind—one letter at a time!
Letters take time to be delivered
The farther away your pen pal lives, the longer it will take to reach them. Why rush through replies? Make your letter be worth the wait!
Interesting concept, and I’m glad the magic was there for the two of you.
Words and ideas are meaningful. Finding a physical artifact from a far off place in the mailbox; seeing the stamps, markings, smudges, and other evidence of its journey; opening the envelope; and reading the other’s handwritten words add another dimension. Similarly, holding a paper book is a different experience, so I suspect that more than nostalgia is at work.
