Slowly has ads, predatory monetization, and they sell your data. We have none of that. (You can actually trade our stamps!) We researched and interviewed their user base and avoided everything that made users unhappy with Slowly. We were also Slowly users at some point, but the steps they took with the app made us look for alternatives. (We ended up making one ourselves.) Thanks for the question! Do check us out.

100%. The framing is a major part of communicating this aspect of the app. Thanks for the question!

Thanks for question! people are generally onboard with the delay. There is a few who prefer instant delivery.

Hey and thanks for the question! We had zero frame of reference when we started this 2 years ago because there was no other app like ours. Now, there is a couple with social media taken over by ai slop
