Draw one face.
Send it around the world.
안녕 (sayihello.com) is a drawing world. The face you draw drifts across screens everywhere, next to faces drawn by people you will never meet — and each one says hello in its own language.
Faces people actually drew and sent out.
What is 안녕?
안녕 is how you say hello in Korean, and it is the only Korean word you need here. Open the site and you will see faces drifting slowly across the screen. A face drawn in Seoul floats past one drawn in São Paulo. Every so often one of them speaks up — “안녕”, “Hola”, “こんにちは” — in whatever language its maker was using.
You are not expected to be good at this. The face shape is already drawn for you, so all you add is an expression. Most people are done in well under a minute, and the shaky ones are usually the best ones.
How it works
- Tap the pencilThe round pencil button opens the drawing screen.
- Draw a faceChoose a shape and a colour, then draw the expression. There is an eraser and an undo, and you can drop in a photo if you want.
- Send it outWhen you are done it joins the world and starts drifting across everyone else’s screens too.
- Say hello backTap any face you like to send it a heart or leave a short message.
What makes it different
- It is live. When someone sends out a new face, it appears on every screen that is already open.
- Fourteen languages. Each face greets in the language of whoever drew it, not in yours.
- No account needed. Drawing and sending require no sign-in at all.
- Works like an app. Add it to your home screen and it runs full screen.
- Your face gets replies. Sign in with Google and you get an inbox for the hearts and messages it collects.
Keeping it friendly
Every face carries a report button. Once a face collects enough reports it is hidden from the world automatically, and a person reviews it afterwards. The aim is a screen you would be happy to leave running in a room full of strangers.
