How it works
How an exchange works.
From the context to the opened versions, with every number that applies.
Four steps.
You open an exchange.
A short context, and how many versions must arrive: two for a couple, more for a family.
Your clients get a private link.
Or a QR code. It shows your context and nothing else.
They write, alone.
What happened, then how it felt. Until everyone has written, each person sees only their own version. So do you.
Everything opens at once.
Side by side, for everyone in the exchange. Then it is locked, and it never expires.
The details.
- Context.
Up to 500 characters, written by whoever opens the exchange. The only thing anyone sees before writing.
- The number.
How many versions must arrive before anything opens; the app calls it Participants. Exactly two on Free, up to a thousand on Pro.
- The link.
One private link per exchange, the same for everyone, also shown as a QR code and a 62-character code. Whoever holds it can fill a free place, so send it only to the people meant to write.
- Writing.
Two boxes, what happened and how it felt, up to 2,000 characters each. Or up to fifty pairs of a moment and the feeling it left, up to 1,000 characters a side.
- Changing a version.
Possible until it opens, with an optional note of up to 500 characters shown with it.
- The seal.
Until the number is reached, the server gives each person back only their own version, on every request. Whoever opened the exchange is kept out too.
- Counting yourself in.
Your own version counts. You can lower the number to how many have written, never below two, and it opens at once with the versions that are in.
- Opening.
When the last version arrives, all of them open at once, side by side, for everyone in the exchange.
- Names.
Signed-in people by username; people who wrote by link by the last six characters of the private code their browser keeps.
- Afterwards.
Locked: no new version, no changes. It never expires, and anyone in it can download it as a file (JSON).
- Notifications.
None. People see the opened versions the next time they open the exchange, in the browser they wrote from.
- Monthly allowance.
Three new exchanges a month on Free, a hundred on Pro, from the first of the month. What clients write never counts.
- The app.
It lists them under Exchanges. Its screens come in 24 languages, and it installs from the browser like an app.
