OpenCapsule is a fun project that turns your device into your own personal time capsule.
My girlfriend and I had a great idea to make a secondary Snapchat account to send all of our pictures and memories throughout the year so that we could have a "time capsule" to open when the year had hit.
It turns out snapchat will delete snaps sent after around 30 days. So, all of the pictures and funny moments we sent disappeared forever. which was a huge bummer.
I am planning on having a photo and media storage system where:
- You can add friends to your bucket to contribute to the capsule
- A "no peak" policy which wont let you access any of the files until the timer runs out
- Option to set how long until the capsule will be ready to open
- An email or SMS will be sent with your decryption key which will allow you to view all of your digital capsule files
I was trying to go for a neon / futuristic theme but at the moment it just looks pretty scary
