When I was 17 years old (2016) I built a mobile app called Wordle… it was downloaded about 100k times before I gave up on the project

It sat in my apple developer account, until in 2021 another developer named Josh build a web app game, also called Wordle

Josh’s game went viral globally. A lot of people searching for his game went to the appstore and downloaded mine instead

A lot of other app developers tried to copy the game but Apple removed them all… except mine because it was the OG built before any other Wordle existed

Apple wiped out all the competition. I was the only “Wordle” on the appstore

My little mobile app ended up being downloaded over 10M times in the span of a few weeks

It changed my life forever.

The young woman opens the pot to reveal a cake mixer and casually says, 'I’m on my way to make a cake.

😃

On the tube, a woman is carrying a huge Le Creuset. Itching to ask what possesses her to carry this large pot on the morning commute, but of course, I’ve seen stranger items transported.

A woman reading a book asks her, 'Have you got a cake in the pot?'

[The Ghost of Luke Barnett @LukeBarnett]

My mom died when I was 17. I only have a handful of pictures and zero videos of her. A couple years ago, on my birthday, I got a text from a number I didn’t recognize. It simply said “happy birthday” with a YouTube link. I clicked it and my heart stopped. It was my mom.

I had to pull over immediately. She was telling me how proud she was of me and how she wondered what I’d become. Maybe a policeman, a preacher, or even a clown. I couldn’t believe it.

Well, it turns out the random phone number was my friend Jon’s dad, who had found this video on an old VHS tape they made before a 1999 school event. I was 16.

This experience got me thinking... what if we could have one last conversation with someone we lost?

Dang this morning's @ElectricLit's Commuter story is a banger! It's a redlined fictional obit, absolutely hilarious and I am amazed this is writer Taisiya Kogan's first published piece ever. She has an immense career ahead of her I hope!
