Build an app to capture memories — Web Dev Challenge S1E6

Sponsored by Tigris Data and Fly.io — What could you create if you had 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build? Lawrence Lockhart, Amy Dutton, Josh Cirre, and Jason Lengstorf took on the Web Dev Challenge to find out.

THE CHALLENGE
Build an app that helps people capture memories.

There are so many things we experience that might seem small in the moment, but that we’d see as a treasured memory looking back on it years from now. A special event, a dinner with loved ones, a small adventure — or a big one.

Your challenge is to create an app to help people capture a special kind of memory. You get to choose what kind of memories your app will capture, but it should allow users to upload images and/or videos.

THE TOOLS
Apps must use the following tools in their build.

Tigris Data (https://lwj.dev/tigris) is globally distributed S3-compatible object storage service that provides low latency anywhere in the world.
Fly.io (https://lwj.dev/fly) allows developers to deploy apps in a globally distributed way with minimal hassle.
