Most of my personal life updates were shared in group chats. Those chat updates were scattered, repetitive, and for some people easy to miss.
When my son was born, I wanted to start telling his story to the people in my life. I started developing Ongoing Things with a baby in a carrier on my chest.
The app is now where we share the real stuff - raising a child, a trip, a project - each in its own place that we call a "thing", with just the people it's meant for. No feed. No comments. No signup required - people need only an email to follow along.
We have a small user base, and tons of features are still missing. We are working on making it better. Our roadmap includes:
- "Partner Things" to allow few people to share updates to one thing
- E2E encryption for posts
- Customizable layout of posts
- RSS feeds
Would love feedback if anyone is interested in trying it.
