Why we started
Longhand began as a shared notebook between three friends who kept sending each other long messages about things worth slowing down for: a bakery on a Lisbon side street, a chair with perfect proportions, a train route through the mountains. Eventually it made sense to give those notes a proper home.
Today we publish new stories every week across four topics: design, travel, food and culture. Some are practical guides you can use this weekend. Others are essays about the small habits that make ordinary days better.
What we believe
Fewer, better stories. We would rather publish one piece we are proud of than five we are not.
Useful over clever. Every guide should leave you able to do something you could not do before.
No noise. No pop-ups, no autoplay and no sponsored stories dressed up as editorial.
Reading with us
The easiest way to keep up is our newsletter, a short email whenever new stories are published. You can also follow along through our RSS feed, or simply come back on a quiet Sunday morning with a cup of coffee. That is how we like to read, too.
