BY THE SEA

The site asks you to slow down before it asks you to do anything else, which is a rare and slightly suspicious kindness from a browser tab.

The entry screen is honest about the experience: letters come from strangers and are not moderated, so the softness has a little real-world salt in it.

Thanapat's pitch is the right one: BY THE SEA works because it turns opening a page into a small pause, then hands you something that might feel personal.
