Hey Product Hunt Community πβ€οΈ,
I have never been the person to articulate myself well in verbal form. Instead, writing often comes easier to me. But posting something to the internet can sometimes be a bit much. So, before posting - or instead of it - I turn to people I know, like, or admire. This has sparked some cool conversations in the past. Today, they rot in my email inbox or the endless void that is my Facebook messenger history. I always wanted a place to discuss things with people in a long-format and allow others to read my conversations if they find value in them. Also, I found myself wondering what kind of cool conversations lie buried in the email inboxes of authors, artists, or friends. Naturally, I thought of the concept of creative/academic letter exchanges.
I got so obsessed over the idea of a place where it would be possible to follow conversations between artists, thinkers, authors, and scientists that I started building it.
The platform is called Eightygram (which references the standard weight of paper in the metric system).
All the best,
Florian
