Childhood Memories

I put myself in the shoe, or into a time machine traveling back in time, and identified a childhood problem.

Problem: I don’t have much recollections of my childhood, definitely none of my toddler years. This childhood amnesia happens to everyone, so we are not to be blamed.

I keep a diary, and enjoy reading entries 10 or 20 years ago. It always brings back fond memories and reminds me what I was like in the past.

Yet, I can never scroll to the first 10 years of my life. I am not content that those first 10 years is largely void.

Baby Journal

I wish I have a way to retrieve those childhood memories.

The closest I got are baby photos/album. But that is still very incomplete. There are photos where even my mum is unsure if that baby is me, or my brother.

So, during the honeymoon, I came up with the app idea of a baby journal.

It is a private journal, and it can be written before the child is born.

It is a journal that can be contributed, collaborated, and written collectively by both parents.

When the child is old enough to write, the parents can handover the journal and let the child continues writing to that same journal.
