It's a novel idea, and you're correct to keep it out of integration.
Assume, for a moment, that your idea takes off and becomes the next WhatsApp. People, you know, will find ways to return to their normal selves. They'll cram a ton of links and messages into their allotted time slots.
What you're attempting to address is a fundamental flaw in human nature. Many people are aware of the issue and are taking precautions in their daily communication. Many, however, do not.
- ISL 5y agoEven if the link/message-cramming takes place, it provides a useful impediment to the sender and a bulwark for the recipient. A wall of text/messages from a relative is more-readily handled in a healthy fashion when it doesn't arrive piecemeal.

It's a constant exercise in discipline to keep focused in this direction. > They'll cram a ton of links and messages into their allotted time slots. I'm not sure people will be inclined to put links and ephemera in here. At least not most people. I do, to some extent, especially when I want to avoid starting a text back-and-forth, but I think instant messaging is a good place for that kind of thing and I suspect it'll stay that way.
