JoJo Days is a private, playful baby journal and digital memory book. Start during pregnancy with a due-date countdown, then keep every note, photo, and video - from the bump to the grown-up years.
how does the privacy actually work here - is the data stored locally on my device or on your servers, and can my partner access the same journal if we both want to add entries?
@gnlnvmn The data is in a dedicated bucket for each account, on our cloudflare. And yes, you can add your partner, and they'll have full access, but you being the owner will have power to remove them.
Love the intent here, and the "no ads on your baby" stance really lands. One honest question, since I'd want this to still be around when my kid's older: with a pay-once model and no subscription or ads, how do you plan to cover the storage and bandwidth for years of photos, video, and voice memos as they keep adding up? Curious how you're thinking about keeping it sustainable long-term.
Thanks for the comment, and this is honestly the question I thought hardest about.
Two things make it work: plans are capped by storage (you pay once for the space you use, so no account remains unbounded), and we're on Cloudflare R2 which has zero egress fees, so serving years of memories back to the user costs almost nothing.
At those rates a full tier's one-time price covers well over a decade of storage with margin. We're quite lean, no ad team or investors (so far) to feed.
Also, I always suggest keeping your own copies of what matters most, and an export-to-your-own-cloud is on the roadmap so your data is never locked in. We're also planning optional printed keepsake books, a lovely physical copy of your year if you want one, as an extra revenue stream that never means ads or subscriptions.
How does this handle photos and videos long-term, like is there a storage limit or do you pay more as the library grows?
@erol332722 The pricing is based on storage, there are plans for 1GB, 10GB and 25GB. We'll bring more plans if we see a requirement. But the prices will always remain one time, without any subscriptions.
How does this handle the long term, like once the kid is 15 and has thoughts about who gets to see all those photos and videos they didn't post themselves?
@edanurbaus7dhg There is a sharing link (view only), which can be used for now. We're also bringing a concept of adding your kin after certain years. There's already support for adding your partner right now.
Nifty idea. Privacy and security are so underrated for such precious memories. Any plans for a mobile app also?
I’m really bad at keeping stuff like this organized for my kids, this is a neat idea! I was just like “when did my first start standing up on his own?”
@mjohnson42 Absolutely, we already missed to note down some milestones like the first laugh, and then I thought I don't want to miss capturing other moments. Thanks for your comment!
