<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>My platform is a live, fully functional web app that helps people capture and preserve meaningful life stories from friends and family through guided questions. Users send prompts, collect responses, and build a personal library of memories that can be revisited or turned into a keepsake. The product includes a gifting flow, allowing users to purchase a full year for someone else. It was built end-to-end as a solo project, from idea to production, with a focus on simplicity and emotional value.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul> <li>Annual revenue: $131 - early stage, started trading 02/26</li> <li>Annual profit: $131 - no full year of accounts yet</li> <li>Churn rate: n/a</li> <li>LTV: n/a</li> <li>CAC: minimal (organic only)</li> <li>Business margin: high potential (digital product)</li> <li>Fully built, deployed, and tested product</li> <li>Stripe payments and gifting flow implemented</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><ul> <li>Solo founder (full-stack)</li> <li>Responsible for product, engineering, design, payments integration, and initial marketing</li> </ul> <p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul> <li>Node.js (Express) — backend</li> <li>React (Vite) — frontend</li> <li>PostgreSQL (Drizzle ORM) — database</li> <li>Stripe — payments and subscriptions</li> <li>Resend — transactional email delivery</li> <li>Replit — hosting and deployment</li> </ul> <p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>Initial growth efforts focused on organic content (short-form video/reels) and early validation of messaging.
