In an increasingly digitally distracted and fast-paced world, maintaining meaningful long-distance friendships can be challenging. P.S. I Love You is an interactive platform designed to foster emotional closeness between long distance friends.

The app delivers structured, engaging prompts that gradually deepen friendships through consistent communication. These prompts combine shared experiences with reflective conversations, gradually progressing from simple activities to deeper, more meaningful interactions that require greater effort. Drawing from psychological research on friendship formation, digital communication, and relational maintenance, this project explores how guided interactions can facilitate emotional intimacy in digital spaces.

By incorporating a sequential unlock system, P.S. I Love You aligns with the principles of slow technology, fostering anticipation and progression while encouraging users to engage with their friendships in a deeper and more intentional way over time. Rather than prioritizing efficiency or instant gratification, the app’s design promotes thoughtful interaction, mirroring slow technology’s emphasis on reflection and meaningful engagement in a fast-paced digital environment.
