Web app that lets you send email time capsules

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.

In plain words

This web app lets users create email time capsules by writing messages or journal entries that are automatically sent to them at a scheduled future date. Designed for people who journal but rarely revisit their writing, it works like a digital time capsule that rediscovers past thoughts and reflections. The app is inspired by similar services and appeals to anyone wanting to reconnect with their past selves or create surprise messages to receive later.

    I used to send 1 email to myself on January 1st every year and schedule it for the 1/1 next year using FutureMe. This year when I wanted to do this, FutureMe started charging $9/year because had I already used the 3 free emails, which is an ok price if you use the service often, but why would I pay $9 for 1 email every year when I can build myself an alternative. So I built EmailToFuture - free app to send emails to your future self. How it works: Simply write a message to your future self, select a delivery date (from tomorrow to decades ahead), and your message will be delivered…

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it.
