Send Vintage Telegrams via Text

Hacker News

Introducing Teletype! WHAT’S THE PITCH? — Text like Winston Churchill with reproductions of vintage telegrams. WHAT IS IT? — Teletype is an iMessage extension that lets you send and compose authentic-looking virtual telegrams by text. WHERE CAN I TRY IT OUT? — Grab a copy for free on the Apple app store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/teletype-send-instant-telegr... WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE? — I made a website here: http://www.teletype.website . I also made an intro video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg2V5tshsLI wherein I make a total fool of myself pretending to be an old-fashioned radio announcer. Enjoy! WHY WOULD ANYONE USE THIS? — From vinyl records to Moleskine® notebooks, people are falling back in love with vintage / analog tech. Surely I’m not the only one who thinks telegrams are cool? Maybe? I HATE IT/LOVE IT AND WANT TO TELL YOU HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER — Please! Any and all formative feedback is very much welcome and greatly appreciated =) Thanks!!
