Little Memory
Little Memory is a journal for people who have a hard time keeping a journal. Write one line a day.
- The smart home has reached a tipping point. Many of its early pioneers are aging out — a decade plus is a long time for a startup. Most have been bought by bigger companies, likely attracted by the shiny thing but then quickly dismayed by the bottom line. Back then, a cloud server was cheaper to build than a local hub, but servers continue to cost money, and once a company decides to shut down a product, reasons to keep paying fade rapidly. Definitely for me a consideration when buying products, especially smart home products, is whether they can keep working even after the company shuts down. Also, the same thoughts have crossed my mind when I was rebuilding Little Memory to 2.0. If a bus hit me today, would the app still keep working without me? I don’t want folks getting stranded without me and losing access to their diaries. For me, it’s a matter of respecting the user and their data.

- What Are All Your Photos For? For many, it’s for posting on social media. For others it’s to look back and be reminded of and remember old memories (especially as we get older). They are also, for some, keepsakes to share with children.
