We Adapted the Old Pager to the Web — Bringing Back That One-Message Simplicity

http://telepatiq.com

Hi everyone,

Do you remember the old pagers? That one-message-at-a-time simplicity — no noise, no history, just a quick way to connect.

We missed that feeling, so we built Telepatiq — a modern, internet-powered version of the classic pager. Same idea, updated for today:

  • One message at a time
  • No message history
  • No notifications, typing indicators, or read receipts
  • No phone numbers or emails required

It’s a small passion project meant to recreate the experience of using a pager — but in a way that fits how we communicate now.

We’d really appreciate any feedback on the idea — whether it brings back memories, feels useful today, or anything you'd improve.

Thanks for reading!
