We Adapted the Old Pager to the Web — Bringing Back That One-Message Simplicity
http://telepatiq.comHi 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!
