The reasons and thoughts that led to its creation.
Let's Create Again
I have often been involved in creating various services at my company or participated in the process. However, sometimes I find it challenging to enjoy the creation due to either not pursuing the direction I want or not being interested in the service itself.
Of course, I have learned a lot from making things and have grown, so it was certainly not a meaningless experience.
However, I don’t think I have often been able to do the kinds of development that once excited me enough to stay up all night.
So now, I want to properly create and launch the service I want with my own hands.
So, what should I create?
I’ve thought about various options, and for now,
1. There is no existing service to take its place
2. It solves a problem that many people experience
3. I can create it better than others
This service that meets these various conditions will comfort people who have experienced loss and preserve memories.
Why am I making that?
In February, my father passed away. However, there are many people in the world who go through this tragedy. While sorting through albums and saving messages and notes my father sent, I felt a lot of pain because there wasn't as much to save as I thought.
There are moments when my father's voice and face are becoming a bit blurry, and while forgetting may lessen the pain, there is also a strong desire not to forget.
So, I want to create a service that can properly comfort people like me and help them remember.
Exploring Features
I am considering which features to add first.
For now, the most important thing is to preserve memories and to comfort those with heavy hearts. The most crucial part is organizing photos and writings so they are well-kept and not lost. Additionally, it’s essential to hold onto the details of precious memories.
Voices are also important, so videos should be saved as well.
Save photos and videos > Add details (notes)
Save notes, texts, and messages
Record important dates, etc.
For now, I think these functionalities are important.
If I get too ambitious about features at the MVP level, I feel like I might get exhausted and burn out before launching.
