A web page for your long distance relationship that arrives at once
For the person who is far away: a counter, your letter and your moments on one small page. Sent by link, with no shipping, and it unwraps when opened.
A long distance relationship often means waiting. For the call, for the weekend, for the next train. A gift cannot abolish waiting, but it can create closeness you can at least read. With trovu you design a small web page for this, and it arrives at once.
What the page shows
- A counter for your days together, starting from your date. Or you set a date in the future, and it counts down to your reunion.
- Your letter, in which you write what you miss and what you look forward to
- Up to eight moments with date, title, a line and a photo: your visits, trips and the stations in between
- Up to five things you love about them
- A gallery, up to 20 photos in total
Why it fits a distance
The page needs no shipping. You are not tied to delivery times, and the person does not need to be home to open it. You can even open it at the same time: you send the link, you are on a video call, and you see how it unwraps. Afterwards it stays reachable, to reread on a bad day.
If you would rather send something to hold
The link can be turned into a card with a QR code, which you print and mail. A paper letter with the card works like a double: paper and page. Ideas for parcels, shared evenings and reunions are in our guide to a long distance relationship gift.
The letter carries it
The counter and photos frame something, and the letter carries it. What you can write, how you start and which mistakes to avoid is in our guide on how to write a love letter, including a template for a long distance relationship.
Using the waiting time
If you enter the day of your next reunion as the date, the page counts the days down. With the edit link you can change the date later, for example to your first day together. That turns waiting into something you can see and count together, instead of just enduring it.
Who it fits
It fits couples who live in different cities or countries, who work away during the week, or who are separated for a season of study or work. It matters less how far apart you are than that you want something the other can open on their own schedule and keep. If you also want to send a parcel, the page works as the letter that goes inside it.
Steps
- Designing and preview: free.
- Pay by card through Stripe, only at the end and with no subscription.
- Send the link or print a card with a QR code.
- Change anything later with the edit link.
What the page cannot do
It does not replace a visit or a conversation. It is a sign between two meetings. If that is what you expect, you will not be disappointed, and if you expect more, plan a parcel or a ticket as well. More thoughts in our guide to a digital gift for your partner.
Frequently asked questions
Can the counter count down to our reunion?
Yes. If the date lies in the future, the page counts backwards, so you see the days until your next meeting.
Do I have to send anything?
No. You only send the link. If you prefer something to hold, print a card with a QR code yourself and mail it.
Does it work across time zones?
Yes. The person opens the page whenever they like. You can also agree to open it together on a video call.
How long does the page stay online?
Permanently. With the edit link you can change it any time, for example adding new photos after your reunion.
Will my partner see the page right away?
Yes, as soon as you send the link. There is no shipping and no delivery time. Your partner decides when to open it, and the page unwraps itself as it opens.
