Dear Person on the Internet,

Hey there. If you have a moment, I'd like to tell you about an app I've been working on.

In some ways it's never been easier to connect with people. If you're feeling lonely, your friends are never more than a few keyboard taps away. We spend all day exchanging gifs and emojis, Snapchatting jokes and sharing photos. But something about this constant connection can feel a bit shallow, you know?

Lately, I've been getting into writing letters. Real, physical ones made of ink and paper. I'll write for half an hour, filling up paragraphs with a reflective stream of consciousness, pouring my heart out. It's wonderful. Carthartic. I say a lot I would never say in a messenger window—it's just not the same.

Whether it's a postcard from Burmuda, an intimate message for Mother's day, or just catching up with a far-flung friend, there's just something about letter writing that captures our imagination and warms our hearts.

However, the medium has its limits. Even the most gifted poet can't describe that beautiful ocean sunrise better than a picture could. It's hard to appreciate the calming sound of peep frogs at night without hearing their chirps yourself. Words can only say so much.

But what if you could add photos and video to your letters, just as you would in that messenger window?

Feathertip is an augmented reality app that brings rich media to handwritten letters. To start, write your letter as you normally would, with a pen and paper. Then, use the app to attach pictures, video, and audio. When your friend receives the letter, not only will they appreciate your kind words, but they can also access your attachments through the app. Soon, your friend will experience those same sunrise vistas, hear those same peep frogs, and really watch your face as you eat a whole jalapeño all at once.

When you send a friend a Feathertip, you're not so far away after all.

Write your first letter today and makes someone's day.

Sincerely,
Your friends at Feathertip
