    Web app that lets you send email time capsules▲44

    I had an issue where I would journal stuff, and then never look at what I wrote. So I thought it'll be cool to schedule something that will get sent to you at a later time (like a time capsule). Also, was inspired by futureme, where you can send yourself letters that'll arrive in the future.
