Memflix

Inspiration

I'm a nostalgic, sentimental person, so I tend to look back on old photos and messages every so often and reminisce for a good while. I always wanted these memories to be sorted and surfaced in a way that I could relive through them easily, as well as share them with loved ones. Plus, a lot of us take thousands of photos on our phones but it never seems like we revisit them. The Netflix style of memories was actually something chatGPT suggested (hah) but I thought it was a pretty fun idea, so I incorporated it.

What it does

This app turns your memories into bingeworthy, visual episodes that you can watch or share with friends and family. It displays memory ‘episodes’ as card-based titles organized by theme (Travel, Family, Friends). When you tap a card, it shows a visual story with 3–5 photos, messages, and captions (auto-generated or written by you) you can scroll through, like a personal documentary. Everything runs off local mock data to keep the one-shot simplified and working. In a full version, this could integrate with real user data (photos, texts, location history) and auto-generate story episodes every month.

How I built it

I went back and forth with chatGPT (for refining the idea and the prompts strategically with Bolt as well as curating a PRD), then Bolt.new for creating my one-shot prompt.

Challenges I ran into

Figuring out how best to do a one-shot prompt for the challenge.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Honestly, actually submitting this project. And learning more about proper prompting.

What I learned

Learning what is possible with a one-shot prompt as well as constraints. Plus, learning how to strategically do a one-shot prompt.

What's next for Memflix

If I choose to continue this concept, I'd test demand with potential users and see if this is an idea worth pursuing.
