Online & Offline Stories/Memorials - Feedback on MVP & Homepage needed!

Hey guys,

Here's some backstory:

I have an interest in my family history and since all my grandparents are no longer around I wanted a place to gather pictures, videos, and their life stories together. Nothing that was currently available really looked nice or simple to use - you couldn't easily try them out without an account and I decided to create my own version instead.

I also had one of my cousins put together a small book on the life story of one of my grandmothers and get a few copies made for the family which we all loved. So along with the digital aggregation of text/images & video, I thought it would be great to also give people the option to purchase a book of online memories which could then be delivered to them. Obviously, the book would be text and images only but it would still be a lovely item to have and give people the chance to gift the memories to older family & friends.

Where I've gotten to so far:

Next steps:

  • Get the book-creation working correctly - have this 50% completed
  • Ability to have family & friends comment on the different sections (pending admin approval)
  • More privacy options
  • Ability to upload video (perhaps this might be a paid feature)
  • A setup wizard?

Looking for feedback on:

  1. The landing page
  2. Using the page editor (still plenty of improvements to be made)
  3. General feedback also welcome!

Thanks,

      Thanks! Yeah, I'm hoping this helps people to record history before it's lost! It's so easy for that to happen
