A digital interface or software application designed to intercept and reframe "fexting" (text-based conflict) into constructive dialogue, or "connects-ting."
From Old English temprian and Latin temperare—to mix in due proportion, to moderate. In metalworking, to temper steel is to heat it and cool it carefully, transforming brittleness into resilience. The name suggests the same process applied to emotion: bringing reactive heat under control to produce something stronger and more considered.
