Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Manikanta, the creator of Tara Diaries (Tiny Archives, Remembered Always). Like many parents and families, I wanted a simple, beautiful way to capture baby milestones, daily photo moments, and family notes. But when looking at existing baby memory apps, I ran into the same frustrating problems: Expensive Subscriptions: Charging $120/year just to store photos in proprietary clouds. Vendor Lock-in: If you stop paying, exporting your high-resolution original memories is painful or impossible. Privacy Concerns & Ads: Monopolizing family moments with targeted ads and third-party data tracking. Too Complex for Grandparents: Bloated social feeds that elders find confusing. So I built Tara Diaries with a simple, privacy-first philosophy: Your memories belong to you, always. ✨ What makes Tara Diaries different: 📁 Direct-to-Google-Drive Storage: Photos and videos are streamed directly into your personal Google Drive (drive.file restricted scope). Zero server middleman, zero vendor lock-in. 🔒 100% Private & Ad-Free: No third-party ad networks, no data selling, completely free. 👶 Milestone & Age Calculations: Automatically tracks baby's exact age in years, months, and days with chronological timeline & calendar views. 👵 Elder-Friendly Simplicity: 1-click Google sign-in and 12-character invite codes so grandparents can enjoy albums without complicated setups. ⚡ Offline-Ready PWA: Installable on iOS, Android, and Desktop with instant thumbnail caching. We would love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, and thoughts! Try it out here: https://taradiaries.manikanta.co...
