⊆ subset

"...Relationships (new or old) are sequences of interactions that reference other things, from experiences and stories to places and products. This is mostly verbal but it often escalates to the exchange of digital representations of discussed or discussion-adjacent things.

The technology we use makes this possible and adds some value, but it also adds unnecessary friction, interrupts flows and inputs irrelevance to an interaction. Even the liveliest yarn is murdered by a fumbling search for that picture, by an increasingly despairing mini-quest to find the name of that place, space, person or thing, and the dead time that accompanies it."

It took more concentration to get through than the opener had me expecting but if you crack that third space flow-breaker you’ll have built a wonderful tool. Excited to see what you bring to life!
