Mondays: Friends Newsletter

A private weekly newsletter for your friends and family. Everyone publishes on Monday morning — and you read theirs when you send yours.

Mondays is a private weekly newsletter you write for your friends and family — a shared photo journal of the week, from everyone at once.

Through the week you put together a few entries — each one a photograph and a few lines about what actually happened. You choose which of your groups sees each entry, so the work news can go to one circle and the photographs of your kitchen floor to another.

On Monday morning every newsletter goes out at once.

YOU READ THEIRS WHEN YOU SEND YOURS

That is the whole idea. A group's issue stays shut until you have published into it yourself. No reading everyone else's week while sharing nothing of your own — everyone arrives on the same morning having done the same thing.

EVERY ENTRY CARRIES A PHOTOGRAPH

Not a prompt to answer and not a status to update. A picture, and the story behind it.

INVITE ONLY

There is no feed to discover, no profiles to browse, no followers to count. A group exists because somebody sent you a link, and nothing here is public.

MISSED MONDAY MORNING?

You have until midnight that day to still publish into it. Being late costs you the morning and nothing else.

An issue is an index of people, not a river of updates: each friend gets one card, and you open the ones you want to read properly. There are no read receipts, and nothing counts how many likes you got.
