Nihilism and resentfulness go nowhere good. I want to see bestregards.com.

Hey 2025,
Love you for revealing authoritarian drift early enough to resist it, for challenging us to bridge divides with intention, for forcing truth to sharpen itself against noise, for pushing us to reimagine work rather than fear its loss, for making peace urgent instead of theoretical, for exposing wealth gaps so plainly they demand repair, for pressuring tax systems to be questioned and improved, for reminding us that nothing lasting is taken for granted, for steering innovation back toward creation instead of extraction, for teaching us what love costs and why it matters, for turning difference into something worth protecting, for insisting essentials be valued as essentials, for honoring those we lost by deepening how we live, for revealing how empty digital validation is compared to real regard, for asking us to choose deliberately rather than survive passively, for making nature’s limits impossible to ignore, for showing that screens are tools and faces are irreplaceable, for watching closely enough that we learned to speak and listen with care, and for everything else.
With commitment,

@tom8opot8o This is an excellent idea by the way. I had something similar in mind where people would collaboratively write a letter to someone, say for a friend on their birthday or for a coworker on their promotion or a new-married couple or a family and their newborn, but I could never conceive of how to do it. It seems here you've found the sauce for an app like this. I strongly suggest you revisit this idea and gear it for something like that! There's something similar that already exists, but not quite called kudoboard.com.
You could write who contributed to the letter at the bottom of the letter. Add emojis, stickers, etc. Make it very personalized and filled with love.
