Hey Product Hunt! Suraya from the HAGS team here. HAGS is the first and easiest way for high school students to sign their friends yearbooks through Snapchat! 🤩 Available for every high school in the US. 🤩 Sign yearbooks through Snapchat or directly in HAGS. 🤩 Join your high school to connect with your class. My brother @jameelshivji (a high school senior) and I came up with this idea a few months ago while quarantined at home. We were talking about all the things he and his friends were missing out on this year. When it came to yearbooks, we thought it’d be fun to create a digital one using Snapchat! Since then, we have spent quarantine watching Zoey 101 and working on HAGS. It’s so crazy to think that it’s real now. @_jamesdale and I have been able to work with our team of high schoolers to experiment with new technologies, features, and product ideas. Our team has spent a lot of time on the design and feel of the brand. It was important to us to create a yearbook that felt more like a nostalgic book than an app. @jameelshivji recruited his friend Phoebe and together they recruited over 200 ‘HAGS Angels’ around the country to make IG stories and Tik Tok videos over the last few months. This product was honestly so much fun for us to design, make, and share with the world. Jameel, James, and I had no idea that what started as a sibling quarantine project would turn into something that thousands of high schoolers would use across the country. Check it out on the app store at https://apps.apple.com/app/id151... and share it with any high school students you know! Let us know what you think. We're excited for the future of HAGS and we’d love your feedback 🧡

Yearbooks were so fun back in the day. Are they still a big thing in most schools? – "back in my day" Ryan

@rrhoover Woah this site is cool, thanks for making it 😅 Yearbooks are for sure still a big thing in my high school and my friends' schools in LA. It's a keepsake from the year but also the funnest way to get messages from all your friends at once. This year my school is mailing us our books because of COVID-19 but with no signatures. Signatures are definitely still a big thing and what everyone wants most 👀 Especially us seniors 😭 At school, we never get to sign yearbooks long enough at school because it's usually only during the last week of classes. Also, most schools in the area are connected so everyone has friends at different schools. With HAGS, I'm happy that we made sure you could get a lot of signatures from all your friends (school and non-school through Snapchat) but still be able to be in your high school class 😃

@surayashivji love the design of HAGS! How did you approach the branding?

@alimalamud Thanks Ali :) Branding was SO much fun for us. Me and @jameelshivji were super inspired by television shows like Zoey 101, iCarly, and Drake & Josh. Basically everything Nickelodeon. We actually binge-watched Zoey 101 while working on HAGS in the beginning haha. Our moodboard was also filled with things like Doodle Jump, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, alternative indie albums, and ending credit scenes from movies like High School Musical. This aesthetic informed the design explorations we did. We wanted HAGS to feel nostalgic, playful, rusty, and caring. I could go on for days about branding and how that informed our product, marketing strategy, and our own excitements 😅 Thanks for checking us out!

@surayashivji this is so cool! Wow, I'm actually going to use this for college as well! Are you thinking of adding support for colleges as well?

Maker
@sidpandiya Thanks Sid! That's super cool to hear :) Though we've been hyper focused on high schools we've recently considered adding colleges due to demand on our Instagram. We're still trying to figure out how our vision and feature ideas align with the college audience though. If you're interested in starting HAGS at your college, DM me @surayashivji on Twitter ✌️
