A lot of my elderly and not-so-elderly relatives passed away during the last 4 years. Most of them have been immigrants with very unique and interesting lives.
Since I finished school I have been buried in work and projects, chasing after some ephemeral idea(l) of success.
I feel that I've lost a monumental opportunity to learn from people that I should have been closer to, or at least bond with them.
Memoir originally was the attempt to capture what could have been, but in doing so turned into something like a "fast track to mindfulness". (Direct quote from a user) According to feedback, the process of answering questions is 80% of the value. So you get the most out of it if you answer the 15 questions truthfully and in depth.
TL;DR: The app asks you deep life questions, generates your "life story". Kind of like a mix between a ghostwriter and a talk therapist.
