Meminto Stories makes it easy for anyone to become the author of their own book. Give your loved ones or yourself the question collection of your choice & make history - it's the most meaningful gift! As a result, a real book is printed and shipped.
It feels good to finally have my own product featured on ProductHunt!
After my grandma passed away a few years ago, we wanted to capture her story somehow. However, we all realized in my family that it wasn't easy at all!
I developed a collection of questions to ask each person about their life - and so a little later, we helped my grandpa write down the stories of his life in a beautiful book. We had a great time together and also became closer.
I quickly realized that with the right questions, you can inspire people to remember moments long forgotten. I started collecting questions for all kinds of life situations: Growing up my kids, about my relationship and wedding, about my world trip, etc.
You can see the result here: Meminto Stories. With Meminto, everyone becomes an author of a real book. Our smart assistant, which is available as an app and webapp, selects the best questions from hundreds and asks them to our users. You can take this journey through life in one piece or more slowly, for example once a week.
In the end, we print a very special memory book from it that can be sent worldwide.
But the best thing is: Our users can work on their book project together with the whole family. Grandchildren can ask grandpa a very personal question. Spouses can answer a question in a completely different way from their own perspective. Wedding guests can prepare a book together for the bride and groom and record the most beautiful stories.
Now, when my other grandpa died of Corona in April 2021, it was time for me to expand our product again: For loved ones who left us too soon. In no time, I created a collection of questions that survivors can use to capture the stories of another person, creating a biography.
My whole family, uncles, aunts, cousins and even distant relatives helped. As a result, 24 books about my grandfather's life were printed. I am especially proud of that. Also my mother, who then said to me, "Albert, now I know what you have been working on so deeply for the last few months..."
Anyone can start a Meminto book for free and try it out for 14 days. But you can also buy it on the website and give it as a gift via email, so the person receiving the gift gets access to the questions. With the purchase, you get a book of up to 300 pages, printed in full color with a hard cover.
I welcome your feedback on my heartfelt product, and I'm excited about the stories you write with Meminto.
I love the idea!
Can I use it with a relative who does not speak English? (I'm thinking of my grandfather.) I translate the questions to them from English, and type his answers in our native language.
@hcs42 Sure, that works! At the moment we have English and German as native languages, but all languages are supported (since, as you said, you can easily translate them and put your answers as well in another language)!
