Virtual letters
Akhansha Sen
Most ways to share writing online feel like documents or chat: flat, impersonal, and easy to ignore. There wasn’t a simple, memorable way to send a poem or free verse to someone so it felt like a real letter—something they open, not just another link in a thread.
Idea
I wanted a fun, tactile way to send poems and free verse to people I care about—folded into an envelope and delivered by email. Recipients get a virtual letter they can open (seal, unroll, read) instead of a plain text block.
