Hey Product Hunt Peeps!
I'm Brianna - the founder of OurStory aka The OurStory App.
The idea of OurStory developed over a few years, it started off as a really big idea stemming from my love for history, sharing stories and feeling like we weren't archiving our experiences in a way that we could look back on and that future generations could learn from. After some beta testing and refining the concept, OurStory became what you see today.
What is OurStory?
It's a social network
It's a collaborative journal
It's a community
It's pseudo anonymous, if you want it to be
It's a way for you to archive your memories and experiences to look back on one day
It's a platform that uses our memories to bring people closer together
Everyday OurStory generates a new prompt for you answer. Some days you may not want to share and just want to browse other peoples memories and that's okay too.
OurStory isn't meant to take up all of your time, it's meant to be a quick break
from the chaos of the everyday to help you actually connect with people and with yourself.
We just launched on the Apple App Store and Google Play with over 250 organic downloads in our first month, and we're just getting started :)
Thank you guys for checking out The OurStory App - I really love it and hope you do too.
Xo,
Brianna

Congrats on the launch,@bri_anna ! 🎉 The framing of "quick break from the chaos to actually connect with people and yourself" really resonates as I find myself fighting with social apps that optimize for the opposite. I also like that it's daily-prompt-driven rather than open-ended. It removes the "what do I even write" friction that kills most journaling apps after week two.
Would love a "look back on this day" or yearly recap feature in the future! Keep up the great work!

@bri_anna Truly love this! I feel like this product can also be described as a brain game/ memory recaller. As someone who struggles with long term recollection, the journal activates me to remember. Certain prompts I have multiple memories that relate and I always challenge myself to dig deeper or in this case dig farther back and it’s been truly supportive in unlocking feelings and memories from way back, make room luminosity.
I love the ease and simplicity of Our Story. It challenges me to recall my favorite memories from all walks of life and it’s the perfect way to start my day dedicating a few minutes to self reflection and stillness. The interface is great, consistency is tracked and encouraged and I love that my answers are not required to be a certain # of characters to proceed.
