2. Why I like RoR
More condensed, lots of power
The gem installs are pretty cool
The ability to install files is quick, the whole process seems
“faster”
3. What I don’t like about RoR
It’s another language, so it’s still hard to learn
Seems kind of heavy, lots of add-ons in it. Wouldn’t use it for
a blog/website
The errors can be a bit confusing
4. Speakeasy
From customer discovery:
How would you decide which memories you would want to be recorded?
- If I were to use it, I would use it for short memories of the Corner Brook Mill Whistle, which I
already have a website on -- I could see it feeding into that project nicely.
(www.whistleproject.com) I also could imagine using it to record my parents' memories from
school, like pranks my father played on teachers or my mother's stories of going to an all female
Catholic school.
Would you recommend an app like this to friends? Why?
- Sure. A lot of musicians would use this, people working in the music industry. They
might not have a Facebook profile that’s shareable. But they might be new and not
have a Youtube channel to share audio files.
How many memories do you think should be part of a legacy project that would be hosted on an app?
- I’m going to think with my children. Once a week, to see how they progress. Great for someone who had
kids with speech issues, to gauge their improvement.
How would you describe an app that records memories?
- I would describe it as something that helps people feel a connection with their past.
