↑ A simple light turn-based game for when you are time zones apart.
↑ You or your partner leaves a handwritten note or drawing on the widget. It stays visible for a while before gradually fading throughout the day.
↑ A tap gently “cracks” the shared ceramic vessel, sending a soft haptic pulse to the other person, who then can respond by restoring the broken piece with gold joinery.
↑ A day counter designed to gently mark the time until your next reunion.
Soft Signals for Long‐distance Relationships
A quick mini-project made over a weekend for the Nothing Community Challenge’s Software Category. We came up with the theme "Communication in Long Distance Relationships" and used it as a springboard to ideate several concepts for home screen widgets, designing them to fit naturally into the Nothing universe. The result is a collection of ambient, emotionally resonant widgets designed to nurture presence, connection, and soft communication across distance.
