UPT: I made a video card for my wife. She smiled, then called me.

Hi Indie Hackers,

I’ve been working on a side project called UPT — a tool to deliver messages in a way that makes people feel and act.

Instead of just sending text or emojis, UPT lets you create LiveCards:
interactive messages with videos, actions, and links — all in one shareable card.

Here’s an example I made for my wife:

🗣 It started with a video of me saying thank you.
I then asked, “Do you remember our first date spot?”
📍 Below the video was a Google Maps icon — linked to that exact place.
📞 I also added a call icon — connected to my number.

She tapped the map.
Then she tapped the phone.
And she called me — smiling.

It wasn’t just a message.
It was a moment, delivered.

🎥 Here’s the video of when she opened it:

Have you ever built something that helps people really feel a message?
I’d love to hear your story.

    I realized something while using it myself: it’s like a video letter, but with built-in actions that guide the next step. It ends up feeling a bit like sci-fi.
