Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a personal project I’ve been working on that came out of a pretty tough experience.
A few years ago, my cat BB passed away. It was sudden. He passed of a congenital heart issue that had been missed in his previous vet appointments. He was only a year and a half. Obviously, I was heartbroken. But the second wave of grief hit me a few weeks later when I tried to put together a photo album.
I realized that 70% of my photos of him had been deleted due to my own idiocy (deleted photos to make space without turning off the sync). In the midst of my grief of losing him, I felt like I'd lost him a second time when I realized I had barely anything left to remember him by. Memory is such a fickle thing, you know? So many of the small moments I'd caught of him sleeping on my feet, or yowling for food, or laying across my keyboard were gone.
I’m a creative, but my husband is a developer, so we decided to channel that grief into building something that would help people like us always keep hold of those memories.
It’s called HappyPet.
It’s a free app that basically acts as a "Memory Vault" with a few fun functions so that pet/animal lovers can share the pictures they love and keep their pets little moments at the forefront of every day.
We're not a big company, just two people trying to solve "digital grief."
I’d love for some pet owners/animal lovers here to try it out and tell me if it makes you feel more secure about your memories. It’s completely free (no ads or anything yet).
Thanks for reading, and give your pets an extra hug for me today.
P.S. The photo below is of our sweet boy who passed. His name (BB), stood for Byeolbit or 별빛, which means Starlight in Korean. He was very, very loved.
