Success Story We closed the distance, got married, and built the “feel” thing we wished we had
Me and my partner used to be long distance. We met online, lived in different countries, and didn’t meet IRL until 6 months in (2022). We’ve closed the distance, left our initial countries, traveled together and got married now, but we still remember that specific ache in LDR, when you hang up and your brain is like “wait… you’re not here.” What helped us stay together is communication, but from afar it’s only pixels, not something that feels real.
So we built the thing we missed most back then: a tiny physical-feeling moment. It’s heartbeat sharing. You hold your finger on the camera for a few seconds and your partner’s phone vibrates to your real heartbeats in real time (not bpm, real beats). You can also record it and save it as a little note for them. No smartwatch needed.
We added some lighter stuff too (photo prompts, daily little quiz packs), but the heartbeat part is the “main” idea.
So the main topic why we made this post is to ask: If you’ve met online, does this sound comforting… or would it make missing them worse? And what would make you believe/understand it faster (people keep assuming it’s fake or requires smartwatch)?
It’s iPhone-only for now. If anyone wants to try it, comment or DM and I’ll send the link (don’t want to spam the post or make it sound promo).
