Vibes
Shreyas Prakash
I recently attempted to document some of the “vibes” that were resonating with me through this short-lived ephemeral feed. I abandoned this project as i didn’t have a straightforward way to capture them through an app, and sync them in this page.

This is now archived, and resides in this museum of abandoned passion projects:
