Remember-lings started the way a lot of meaningful ideas do: from noticing something small but important.

We realized that we don't really have "Facebook Memories" together — because we don't post much on social media. Our relationship doesn't live there. It lives in our messages. The everyday check-ins, inside jokes, long conversations, family updates, and moments that don't make polished posts but are real life.

That sparked a question: if that's where the meaningful stuff is, what happens to it over time?

Rachell started building. And kept building. She got most of the way there before eventually turning to Nate with a familiar question that roughly translated to, "So hypothetically… how hard would this part be?"

A little developer help, a lot of late nights, and a few "wait, this actually works" moments later — Remember-lings was born.

At its core, Remember-lings is about memories: how they're made, how they're shared, and how revisiting them strengthens the bonds between us. For us, reminiscing isn't looking backward — it's a way of staying connected through our stories. There's no perfection or performance here, just the moments that continue to matter.
