How did the idea behind come to life? 🌱
Ludovic Désert, founder :
"Back in 2016, I went traveling across the USA for one month. I visited friends in New York City and Boulder, ending up in San Francisco to attend the DeveloperWeek Hackathon.
During that trip, I got inspired and jotted down several ideas, one of which was the Digital Time Capsule Service. I loved the idea, it was sexy and fun but at first glance it just looked like a gadget to me and I had more pressing matters to attend back then... I forgot about the idea for a few years.
I stumbled upon it again in October 2020 during the lockdowns. We were all living through some unbelievable black swan event that was redefining everything. The economy was at a stop, plenty of time on my hands and the need to keep my sanity in check. It was the right time to put my energy into a new project.
I felt the need for meaning, if I was going to do anything I wanted it to have . That's when I remembered that idea I had in 2016.
After playing with the concept I realized that the ability to send messages to the future is not a gadget : it's a new feature,a new possibility that could augment people's lives. I fell in love with the idea and its ramifications and I started developing the concept and coding the first version of the Service.
In January 2021 I had an alpha version of the product."
Two months later, in March, David joined the project as the second co-founder.
Since then, the team has kept growing at an incredible pace and now gathers like-minded people with the desire to bring a time-transmission service to life.
