- People who make things and enjoy small stranger-to-stranger exchanges
- Worth noticing
- The homepage reports 273 encounters between strangers, but does not define what counts as an encounter.
Field notes
The homepage links to both Submission Guidelines and a feature called “From One Stranger to Another,” suggesting more than a single invitation, though their contents are not included in the supplied text. Its reported 273 encounters are not defined, and the visible excerpt does not show the items themselves or the submission mechanism.
