The Challenge

Build a platform that handles deeply personal content with the sensitivity it deserves — combining thoughtful UX design, robust privacy controls, and community features that bring people together during difficult times.

Our Approach

Empathy-Driven Design

Every interaction is designed with care. From onboarding flows to content moderation, the platform prioritizes dignity and ease of use during emotionally difficult moments.

Privacy by Default

Granular privacy controls let families decide exactly who sees what. Memorial pages can be public, private, or invite-only — with full control at every level.

Collaborative Memory Sharing

Friends and family can contribute photos, stories, and tributes to create a shared, living memorial that grows over time.

Technical Stack

Frontend
Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, Google Fonts (Playfair Display + Inter)
Backend
Go 1.25 — single binary, stdlib net/http, JWT (HS256), bcrypt, SendGrid

Infrastructure
