Send a message. Decide when they see it.

I developed SandCapsule together with @hecrj back in early 2017 mainly for fun and to give Elm and Haskell (two pure functional languages) a test run (before deciding if we would use them in a more serious project). At first we released it for ourselves, and since then we’ve used it to surprise some of our friends and loved ones, make predictions of some games or TV shows, and to send our friends silly messages.
