Ripple

A two-person channel: send text and doodles, and watch a wave wash across the page.

Ripple turns a message into a moment. Ripple links your browser with one other person's: a partner, a best friend, a sibling, a teammate. When you send them something, it doesn't land in an inbox. It arrives as a wave of water rolling across whatever page they're on, with your words rising up where the wave lands. WHAT YOU CAN SEND • A line of text: "thinking of you", "lunch?", "look at your screen" • A doodle: draw right on the page you're viewing, and it draws itself on their screen, stroke by stroke, just the way you drew it • A voice note: up to a minute, played right on their page (Pro) • A priority ripple: a golden, full-strength wave for the things that can't wait (Pro) WHY PEOPLE USE IT • It feels like presence, not messaging. A ripple is a little tap on the shoulder from someone who's thinking of you. • It's just the two of you. No contacts, no groups, no feed, no notification pile-up. • It meets them where they are. Whatever page they're on, your message finds them there. No app to open, no tab to check. • It's quietly beautiful. The water is a real wave simulation: it spreads, bends the page beneath it, and settles in a couple of seconds. • It's private. Everything you send is end-to-end encrypted with a key only the two of you share. We can't read it, and we don't store it. GETTING STARTED TAKES A MINUTE 1. Click the Ripple icon and choose "Create invite". 2. Send the invite to your person somewhere private. 3. They paste it into Ripple, and you're linked. Send your first ripple. No account needed to start. FREE AND PRO Free includes text and doodles, 10 ripples a day each. Ripple Pro adds voice notes, priority ripples, five mood themes that colour your waves, history export, and unlimited ripples. Ripple runs on top of the pages you visit only to draw the wave. It never reads or collects what's on them. Both of you need to be online for a ripple to arrive. Privacy policy: https://ripple-relay.thetechside.org/privacy
