MyLegacySpace

Preserve family's stories, photos & voices for generations

April 12, 2026 I built a family legacy platform as a solo developer — here's what I learned

I've been building MyLegacySpace.ai for the past several months. It's a platform where families can build living family trees, create time-capsule messages for future generations, restore old photos with AI, and create memorial pages.

Think of it as what Ancestry would look like if it focused on the future instead of just the past.

Features I'm most proud of:

  • Future messages that deliver on specific dates (birthdays, weddings, or after you pass)

  • AI photo restoration for old damaged family photos

  • 6 different interactive family tree views

  • QR memorial plaques that link to digital memorial pages

  • AI research agent that searches historical records

  • Got that 2000's vibe where you can edit your profile and make it yours. Even add your own music.

Tech stack: Next.js, Supabase, Azure OpenAI, Vercel

I just launched and have very few users. Would love honest feedback from this community — what would make you sign up? What's missing?

90% of family stories are lost within 3 generations. Names survive, but voices, stories, and personalities disappear. I built MyLegacySpace because I wanted my family's stories to outlive us — not just names and dates.
