Hi guys. Have you ever felt that feeling, at the end of the summer, when you just can’t move on to fall. But as Richard Feynman reminds us, “What is a memory? It is a memory of a past moment, a remembered feeling, an echo of a time. But a memory is also a feeling that can be remade. It is a new moment, a new feeling, a new memory, when you choose to recall the past.”.

So this is my way to keep the memories of this past summer: an headless Next.js application that acts as an extension to the physical diary I wrote to handle media, knowledge and experience sharing.

How it works

On the physical diary, I printed one QRCode per page. So the “user” flow is:

1. Open the physical diaryScan the QRCode
2. Play any media available on the page
3. In the meanwhile read the daily reflection
4. Have fun while reading.

What’s done

• I built the main infrastructure, while focusing more on flexibility rather then scalability
• Wrote some of the pages (20)

What’s missing

• Add some twists
• Finish writing all the pages (80)
  Wish me luck!

NOTE: The diary and the pages are all written in italian because this was part of a school project, hope it doesn’t bother anyone. I suggest you to use google translate to translate the entire page
