Sometimes a small act of kindness towards a stranger gets treated like a heroic deed that needs to be caught on camera. I wanted to make something simpler: an app that could brighten a stranger’s day with a few kind words from someone on the other side of the world. And who better to help bring the idea to life than my friends?
I shared the idea with close friends, and everyone happily brought something of their own to it. Together, we created Kruzo, a cat who delivers messages to random strangers around the world.
How the idea grew
I wanted people to write something new each time, rather than paste a message they had prepared earlier. A spontaneous note felt more personal. So I removed pasting and autocomplete, and added a time limit for writing a message.
Each message is seen by just one person, just once. I wanted the sender to know when their words meant something, so I added a way to say thank you: the reader can send a heart back.
We made this project with love, and it will always have a place in my heart ❤️.
