While studying Interaction Design about 12 years ago, in one course I came up with the idea of a digital communication service that simulates physical delivery time. In contrast to short message bursts we have now, a message would take days or even weeks to come to you.
Now I stumbled upon a service that does just that, with some more bird-themed gimmicks: https://roostsocial.app/
Looks fun! And I still think it’s a very nice idea, because you do reflect much longer on what you write.
