WIF

Memory is fragile and quite an unstable thing that often deceives its carrier. And sometimes, it is important to remind oneself about an important event or emotion from the past, which inspired or provoked certain thoughts, but it is difficult to evoke these memories and emotions within a mind. This is where WIF is able to help. The application gives a possibility to save one’s feelings or emotions in a virtual capsule and send them into the future to himself or herself as well as to other users.
With WIF, a person can be sure that important events and emotions would not be forgotten.

Development approach

Despite the deceptive simplicity of the concept, WIF is a complex project that required a complex solution. The team used a broad range of different tools and technologies to create a reliable service and pack it into a neat iOS and Android applications. In particular, the developers used DataGrip cross-platform database IDE, which “provides database introspection and various instruments for creating and modifying objects for the supported engines.”

Results achived

With WIF, users have a possibility to create different types of virtual time capsules, which will be stored on a server and will be able to evoke certain memories in a user after a while. The capsules can be triggered at a certain moment in a future or when a user enters a previously specified location. Capsules can also be send to another users. In addition, there is a possibility to send a message in a “What If” case, specified by a user.
