Good job! simple & efficient design. Just tried it a bit, but seems a good way to remember great moments alcohol is trying to make me forget. Just a question where are the servers where my data is stored ?

Hey there @flo2sa, thanks for asking! The creators of Capsule put privacy before everything else. The app is Private by Design which means than none of your user data ever leaves your device. You data is yours and yours alone, nothing reaches a server and all your secrets stay in your phone!

@colas_kirschoff @flo2sa What happens when we get a new phone?

@xstex @flo2sa As long as you back up your data, you should be able to get everything back on the new phone, the same way you get your texts, photos, music back. Back up old phone, get a new phone, you'll restore a backed-up info, continue filling your Capsule. :)

@colaskirschoff How does the "back up your data" part work? I'm guessing you mean do an iOS backup and restore onto the new phone? I assume deleting the app deletes the data. Perhaps iCloud would be an option for secure data storage.

@jameskoole you’re totally right. IOS backup and restore on a new phone. If you’re not backed up, then deleting the app deletes the data. Exactly. As far as iCloud goes, part of really sticking up for privacy by design (something that REALLY MATTERS to us!) is creating projects that do not require iCloud storage. So, if you do not connect iCloud (like me) and rather back up to your laptop, nothing goes to the cloud. PBD! (privacy by design)

@colas_kirschoff @flo2sa so does that mean the data bloats the app size?

@johnnyquachy We manage the growth of data in a unique way that won't slow down performance or bloat the app, no need to worry!

@colaskirschoff @jameskoole I wouldn't mind possibly seeing an export feature? Maybe generating a csv? Not sure how that'd work on iOS without touching a server, but I can see some value in being able to export / import accounts. Device switching without restoring an entire backup being one of 'em.
Great job btw guys!

@giologist @jameskoole Generating a csv that will allow you to explore your data is not an issue. Doing it the other way around is a bit more complex, but it's worth investigating it. Thx for the feedback !

@colaskirschoff @giologist @jameskoole why not creating an import feature as well and with the export/import features newly added you can propose backup/restore feature directly in the app.

@david_senate @colaskirschoff @jameskoole Bingo!
Just had another idea as well, for exporting / possibly... converting a day into a video? Idk let me try and think aloud for a sec. So right now what I'm do with SnapChat is using the stories to create almost a "diary" for my day. Sure, it's cool that people can see it / not even necessary / relevant for them at times. I just like the idea of saving that day's story and being able to reflect on it at some point. I can actually see Capsule providing this same value and in an even better way. Am I making any sense or rambling as always?

@giologist @david_senate @colaskirschoff @jameskoole Hey man! we are actually working on generating a content with all that data clustered that you can look back at or share. It will be motion (we want to explore the possibilities of live photos) but not limited only to a day, we want to see a week or a year... What about your year in 365 seconds?

@quentin_zibra @giologist @colaskirschoff @jameskoole, sounds great to me: I like the idea of motion (movie, gif or Live Photos). Do you consider offer the possibility to share your knowledge graph with your friends if they are in bluetooth proximity ? Sort of social dimension only if they are at home (the could add notes to your events by example)

@david_senate @giologist @colaskirschoff @jameskoole Yes we would like to give the possibility to share moments of your timeline in real-time when friends are in the same place. Giving as well the opportunity to share/edit privately the pics and data collected by the people who share this moment. But as you might guess our backlog is huge we now need to prioritize it :) Thanks again!
