I made a simple open-source letter editor inspired by Animal Crossing NH. Took me forever to look over each card, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. You can even click the bottle in the bottom right to see a random letter design shared by other users! Now to see how long it stays up...

For a full experience, you could combine this with animalese! A library that makes animal crossing talking sounds in the browser. https://github.com/jeff-hykin/animalese

I was just able to write a thank you letter to my sister for having me over to her house last night using this and having sent her that letter I leave very impressed.
I know she will enjoy it because we both have loved animal crossing since the original US version came out and we were given a copy in 2005.
Thank you for making such a delightful tool that both works with the nostalgia of those game consoles, yet has a much better UX for mobile phone use!

An older version (and lots of other pixel-perfect customisable screens) is also available from the Death Generator: https://deathgenerator.com/#acww

To be fair that's not the same at all. This one looks like the message boxes that appear during gameplay, while the submission is only about the letters you can send/receive in the game.
They complement each other nicely though.

This was really fun, and instantly brought me back to my island. The share message function is also super cute, but looking at the code, all the bottle messages seem to be preprogrammed in bottles.json?
I guess moderation would be a nightmare. Are the bottle messages actually stored or sent anywhere?

The messages are suspiciously wholesome, I don’t think they are from other users at all.

Yeah all the messages you get are preprogrammed from a bottles.json file. At first I was pleasantly surprised at how wholesome the messages were..
