I built a private family archive site after 15 years of digitizing families' photos and never having a good answer for 'now how do I share this?'
Hi all!
I've been a professional digitizer for almost 15 years helping families collect and preserve their family histories and artifacts. The biggest question I always get is "How do I share this with my family?" — and I've never had a good answer. Flash drives get passed around, things end up on Facebook, but none of it tells a story or stays organized in any meaningful way.
So I built one: https://ourvault.family/ — a private, ad-free archive where families can store photos and videos organized into a timeline by date and event. You can tag uploads with dates and descriptions so everything sorts itself automatically, and you can create private share links for family members who just want to browse without logging in.
I'm opening it up to anyone who wants to try it. Free first month, 50% off for the first year with code FOUNDER50. I'm mostly just trying to cover storage costs while I figure out how people will use this and what they actually need. Happy to answer questions.
