Objective
Our main goal was to design a user-friendly app for capturing memories, enhanced with a variety of advanced features. Based on the client's design, we developed a seamless backend to support the app, story creation, and interactive features. We incorporated easy sign-ins through Google and Facebook and added personal touches with story templates for family members. Users could organize their tales with chapters, subchapters, and a Q&A section. To make stories vivid, we allowed multimedia uploads, voice recordings, and included a specific media library for each narrative. Users could also share stories with public links, and the app offers multilingual support for global reach.
The Challenge
Our task was to create a unified digital platform, blending a range of complex features while maintaining a consistent look with the landing page. This involved integrating multiple Single Sign-On systems securely. We aimed for an intuitive user experience, adding predefined story templates and multimedia content. On the backend, we tackled challenges like friend invites, public story sharing, and media library management. With additions like voice recordings, multimedia uploads, and multilingual support, our core goal was to ensure all features worked harmoniously, enhancing the user experience without adding complexity.

To enhance the user experience, we enabled multimedia uploads for easy addition of images and videos. Each story benefited from its own media library for hassle-free organization.
