Launch thoughts

The app is in a place where it’s about ready for launch.

I’m excited and nervous to see if and how people might use it. I think there’s a lot of good that can be done with it. I believe that there are major gaps with how Facebook and Instagram work for preserving memories, and I think there’s a place for this app in the world for people that don’t want to be a part of the ecosystem or who don’t want to become advertisements. I also think there’s an opportunity here for people that just want to stay connected with close friends and family without the rest of the world encroaching on their experience.

There is still a lot that I want to do. I still want to:

• employ a way to auto-grab and prompt memories for people based on their photo, music, and map habits.

• work on a better system to jump into the app from notifications

• a snappier add memory button

• a DM feature

• a better way to pull videos and images from Google Photos and Apple Photos

• a better way of dealing with multiple email notifications stacking up in the user inbox

• a richer way to engage with “remember these”

• rich text editing for text posts and a richer experience there

• the ability to export timelines to powerpoint or video in compilation formats

• fix scrolling and loading issues

• maybe an agent that does some of this for you.

I’m stoked with everything that the app has grown into, and I have a phenomenal developer working with me on this who has done incredible work. It’s just hard to contain what I think may be possible.
