A web application used to connect with people through small messages in a bottle. Throw your thoughts out to sea, and let someone read them and get connected with you. A novel way of mixing meditation, writing, and connection.

• A calming, relaxing, minimalist UI/UX in a single page webapp
• Responsive design for multiple screen sizes
• Send and receive messages in a bottle from other users currently online
• Ability to play calming music and piano
• ASMR sound effects when typing, sending and receiving bottles
• Day/Night modes, which automatically detect and switch
• Sea who else is in the sea of thoughts
