What was built

The parts of the delivered product.

  • Calendar of days

    Each day with a photo shows as a tile, month by month.

  • Day view

    A single day with its photo and a short caption, and a strip to move between days.

  • Look back

    The same day in earlier months, shown together.

  • Installable web app

    Installs on a phone like an app and keeps its data on the device.

How it works

Photos and captions are kept on the phone, in the browser's own database (IndexedDB).

The interface is designed for one-handed use: a capture button, a calendar, and a bottom bar that switches between the three views.
