I’m also working on Dearest. https://dearest.co
Each week, everyone emails in a few photos and a sentence or two, and Dearest sends the group a private Sunday digest with everyone’s updates. The catch is, you only receive the digest if you contribute that week.
It is meant for families, old friends, grandparents, siblings, or any small group that wants to stay close without another app or endless notifications.
It’s my way to be social and know what’s going on in my friends lives without social media.
So far I only have my friends using it but I love it.

I love the idea, but is there a risk that folks would drop off one by one and over time forget that the thing existed?
As someone who'd be at risk of forgetting, I'd find it nice to be periodically reminded about such a digest. Maybe get an abridged version once in a while or something like that.
It’s only been out for two weeks. You do get reminders that you are going to miss this weeks digest or that others have submitted etc. but your idea is great!
