Hey everyone 👋 My girlfriend and I were in a long-distance relationship for two years before I finally moved to Australia so we could be together while she studies. Those years were really tough, different time zones, busy schedules, and that constant feeling of missing out on each other’s everyday moments. She loves to draw just for fun, so I hacked together a little app where we could send each other doodles, sketches, and photo snaps that show up instantly on each other’s home screen. Nothing fancy at first, just our private way to say “I’m thinking of you” throughout the day, whether we were at work, out with friends, or just doing our own thing. We used it quietly for a while, and it honestly helped us feel closer even when we were apart in the same city. Then I mentioned it to a friend who’s also in a long-distance relationship, and he said, “You should make this public. I’d use that with my girlfriend.” That’s what led to this launch. Long Distance is my small attempt to help couples (and best friends) feel a little closer, no matter where they are. If you’re in an LDR or just missing someone important, I hope this gives you another way to share your day and feel seen. And the drawing in the screenshot (Pls have fun...) that was from a night I went to a social run while she stayed home. It popped up on my home screen mid-evening and completely made my day. I love her a lot, and I’ve poured that feeling into this app. Thanks for checking it out, and I’d love to hear how you’d use it or any ideas to make it better.
