person getting a postcard submits code to (this) shared github repository
if a postcard is not received within 1 month, we consider it lost. the postcard's content is then sent digitally to the other party.
Question 1, How often do you feel that you have a lot in common with the people around you?, was asked over email by Greg on September 11th, 2019. Ariel sent the first card on September 23rd 2019, answering the question.

Ariel received the card and backup together on February 21st 2020

Ariel received the following question from greg on the 22nd of March 2020: What do we owe others?. Ariel has one month to produce a postcard. If postal mail isn't available, we will wait.
On feb 22nd 202 we decided to change the amount of time to answer a card from 1 week to 1 month, starting with card #3, in order to acommodate more complex processes/answers
Ariel and Greg agreed on March 22nd 2020 to stop sending cards by mail considering everything. They will instead send each other a sketch throughout the week, working on it a few minutes per day, one of them working on the sketch on Monday, the other working on Tuesday, etc. on one common topic
On March 23rd, Ariel and Greg agreed this new project would be called Invocations and the first topic would be Hope. The code for this lives here.
