In 2002, a guy built a website that does one thing.
You write a letter. You pick a date — one year, five years, ten years from now. You hit send. On that exact date, the email arrives in your inbox.
That's it. That's the whole website.
Over 20 million letters have been sent through FutureMe. People write to themselves about their fears, their hopes, the person they want to become. Some are funny. Some are heartbreaking. Some are written by people who didn't know what was coming and received them after everything changed.
You can read public letters if you want — strangers' messages to their future selves, filtered by year and theme. It's one of the most unexpectedly moving corners of the internet.
Write yourself a letter today. Tell your future self about Rubberneck. Tell them what you're afraid of. Tell them what you want. Set the timer for five years.
You'll forget you sent it. And then one morning it'll show up in your inbox and wreck you completely.
That's the feature.
