Inspiration

We wanted to create a platform where users could capture moments, messages, and memories to be unlocked in the future, bringing anticipation and excitement to personal and business connections.

What it does

FutureGram is a time capsule social media platform where users can create personalized, time-locked messages, images, and videos to be revealed on a set future date. It fosters meaningful connections and anticipation, allowing users to send messages for personal reflection, loved ones, or business purposes. Brands can use FutureGram to build excitement around product launches, album drops, and exclusive events, keeping their audience engaged over time.

How we built it

We used React and CSS for the front end and Firebase for authentication and data storage. We integrated cloud functions to manage time locks and real-time notifications.

Challenges we ran into

Managing the scheduled content visibility was complex, and we had to troubleshoot data synchronization issues between Firebase and our front end.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud of creating a working prototype that brings the idea of a time capsule to a social platform, allowing users to create something special for the future.

What we learned

We deepened our knowledge of Firebase, React, and user engagement strategies. We also learned how to handle time-sensitive data and improve app performance.
