A small manifesto

Written for everyone.
Read by no one.

Every article you love was written for a general audience — which is why it bounces off the one person you send it to. The startup examples mean nothing to your mom. The productivity framework doesn't survive first contact with a colicky newborn. The idea was never the problem. It just arrived in the wrong wrapping.

rewrap takes the article and re-wraps it for one real person — their week, their worries, their world. Same ideas, new wrapping, and suddenly it lands. An idea that fits is an idea that sticks.

  3. 03

    Unwrap four versions
