Make friends through intimate letters, Slowly
Curated Product Recommendations from Pushpak
Hello there,
This week, I am curating products that help you meet people online who share similar interests with you.
Today's Cool Product -Slowly
Today's Product of the Day (POTD) is a true hidden gem. It lets you make friends (pen-pals) slowly by exchanging intimate letters. There are unique features in this app such as:
- Knowing a person's ratio of sending and receiving letters.
- Collecting curated and timely stamps as achievements (can't remember the last time I used a real stamp).
- Delayed sending and receiving letters. Though the delivery is online, the letter takes a day to reach a pen-pal in China and 2-3 days to one in the US.
In a world that's getting fast-paced in an accelerated pace, this app is a rare one that deliberately embraces being slow and intimate. It definitely lives up to its name - Slowly.
Today's Great Read -The Power of Product Thinking
If you follow content related to Product Management, it's highly likely that you came across terms like Product Thinking and Product Sense being thrown around. This word is as abused in the PM world as is Strategy in the Consulting world.
This article by Julie Zhuo comes to your rescue in making sense of what Product Thinking really is. She helps you understand how to develop your product thinking by training your observation and inquiry skills.
One takeaway from the article on how to develop your product thinking:
- Every week, try at least one new product or service (I got you covered here :D)
- Every week, have atleast one conversation or reflection about how a product decision impacts its intended audience.
That's all for today. Let me know how you find Slowly and the read on Product Thinking. I read and respond to every single email :)
