Hey Product Hunt, today we're launching our voice-based storytelling app (don't worry, no app store download needed). We made it for anyone that values their family history and has aging relatives or children who could one day benefit from some family history and shared wisdom. Using Lineage means preserving the voices of your loved ones while learning new things about them. When we started, we aimed to create a resource for families to connect across generations through verbal storytelling. We wanted to save important memories that don't have to be lost, and give people a place to tell that story that might not come up or isn't appropriate for all ages. I might be stretching a bit here, but there is even an opportunity for a new way to communicate tough subjects, instead of an intense face-to-face. I personally used an app to record my dad's written stories a few years ago, and it was great. It worked because he was an author and loved to write. My mom on the other hand, can not stand to sit at her computer, so we created a simple web app that allowed her to be reminded and use her phone to respond to some prompts. What I found with our first test, is that you learn A LOT about the people closest to you. It was amazing, and I hope you do this with your family. We've now built out a full process for you to collect your family stories too, and it makes a great thoughtful gift. We're new, we'd love for you to try it and let us know what you think. We're still improving the app to make it easier for more family members to join the process and your input helps. We have a 25% discount right now for a year worth of stories, and there's a 14 day free trial just in time for Fathers day. Collecting family stories is time sensitive and you won't regret it. Thanks for your time!

Congrats!🎉 The way of question-guided is very clever, otherwise it seems difficult to directly tell a story facing the mobile phone. I hope there is a more relaxed way, such as recording the process of chatting with family, without deliberately telling a story.

@zenda1122 Fantastic point. Yes the system is pretty flexible. You can have a normal conversation with the phone on the table and it works well too. Someone recently recorded a conversation with themselves, their mother and their 96 year old grandmother.

Lots of really good ideas, seems like your guys based this on real-life experiences! As we all get older, a larger portion of each family is familiar with apps and other digital services. More and more family interactions happen online. I think family is this rare instance where apps and chat groups actually keep us closer than we were before. Congrats on the launch!

@pierredemilly I love your last point. I think that is true in many instances. Our hope is that intentionally addressing new topics will bring a new level of depth to our understanding of each other. Something long form that isn't ephemeral like social media and other messaging apps. Thanks for your thoughts!

It's awesome that it's easy to use, especially for older relatives who aren't tech-savvy. The idea of capturing stories through simple prompts is brilliant, and offering a discount and free trial makes it even more appealing. How does Lineage ensure the privacy and security of recorded family stories?

@askandrewgrace Thanks Andrew! Re privacy at a high level: we restrict access to the audio recordings/images/question data to only the private members of your story and our storage solution encrypts all user data.
