The Problem Space
Despite our best efforts to stay connected to the people we care about, we frequently lose touch with them when they move away. When you can’t be physically present in someone’s life, you grow apart to the point where it becomes too awkward and/or uncomfortable to start a conversation. We've designed a mobile video messaging application to help people maintain these long-distance relationships.
