📬 I built a new kind of penpal platform — for people who crave meaningful conversation (feedback welcome!) Hi everyone! I recently launched p3np4l.com, a personal side project born from a simple frustration: Most penpal platforms today have become language exchange tools or lite versions of social media — fast, superficial, and algorithm-driven. I wanted to build a space where people could slow down again, share openly, and connect intentionally — the way real letter-writing used to feel. Here’s what sets p3np4l apart: 📝 Post your thoughts on the homepage Every user can post diary-style reflections, essays, or musings — it's a space to be seen as you are, not as a profile picture. 🌍 Find penpals based on what actually matters to you On our dedicated penpal discovery page, you can sort potential matches by: • Shared mindset (based on what they write) • Language(s) you want to communicate in • Time zone compatibility • Preferred communication styles (internal mails, chat, personal email…) 📨 Built-in messaging + intentional email system Each user can choose how they want to be contacted — either through a private message, a letter-style email system, or by optionally listing their personal email. To encourage slower, more reflective exchange, users can even set a minimum reply interval (eg.others can’t write you back more than once every 10 days”). 🔧 This is an early-stage indie project (just me so far), and I’d love your honest thoughts — feature ideas, bugs, or just a sense of whether you’d use something like this. If it resonates with even a few people here, I’d be thrilled. Thanks for reading — and maybe see you on p3np4l 🌿
