My marriage definitely benefits when I take tiny bits of time to tell my wife I'm thinking about her. For example:
- Text her a random emoji
- Email her an image I've found (usually using our app Prism http://www.steamclocksw.com/prism/ http://www.steamclocksw.com/prism/)
- Send her a Draw Something drawing
The point is to send a "unit of thinking about you" that's simple but unique enough that it's not mechanical (like a "poke" would be). Pair seems like it could bring this little habit to more relationships, or at least displace text and email for those who do this.
- papercruncher 15y agoHow about a service that you could enter all these things in the morning and it would send them throughout the day? Like a Buffer for "unit of thinking of you". I'm only half joking
- kmfrk 15y agoThis reminds me of a Dharma and Greg episode[1][2]. Scheduled spontaneity. [1]: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0559091/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0559091/ [2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rHyUeD5UrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rHyUeD5UrA
- 2pasc 15y agoScheduled spontaneity is a great term! I love it :) You can use http://www.ohdontforget.com http://www.ohdontforget.com (this is not my startup) for scheduled spontaneity - it is like Buffer and it's free (in the US at least)!
- okstr 15y agoFunny enough, someone requested an API to set up a script to message their girlfriend. lol.
- iron_ball 15y agoI'm actually doing that with the Instagram API to send her pictures of puppies. This may be more common than you think!
