I’ve been off of social media for about two years, and I haven’t looked back. But, I’ve realized that it’s been harder to stay in touch with people.

I think the answer is that personal newsletters will make a comeback. Even digital minimalists like Cal Newport have one! Without viral dynamics or an algorithmic feed, a good email seems to be the calmest way to stay in touch.

I’ve played around with tools like Substack, Revue, and Convertkit for maintaining a personal newsletter - but none of them fulfilled my needs. Blogs are so permanent - newsletters should be light and easy, and not loaded with growth hacker tools.

So, my project is Postcard - a personal newsletter software designed to replace social media: https://postcard.page

It’s still in the early days - but I’ll trade free lifetime access for feedback - just email me.
