People are sleeping on nostalgia-led writing in 2026!!
With the AI-revolution, the world is evolving fast, everything feels automated, and less-human-y. On top of that, there’s negative news everywhere.
During times of like these, people find it comforting to reminisce about the past. Rewatch old shows, dress like the 2000s, even buy burner phones to disconnect from the social media noise a little.
Lately, I’ve been exploring this feeling, and figuring out how I could incorporate that in my writing.
Writers, do you agree? Are you trying to do the same?

I spent days obsessing over this and I need you to try it. Every day in history happened. But most never got a front page. Until now.
Introducing The Chronicle — two experiences that will make you stop everything:
1. The Archives — type any date from 1800 to today. Get a fully designed, historically accurate vintage newspaper front page for that exact day. The Moon Landing. The Berlin Wall falling. The day YOU were born.
2. The Daily You — type 3 boring things that happened to you today. Watch Victorian journalists completely lose their minds over your Tuesday.

I’ve been building Heirloom: a quiet, private space to hold onto people we’ve lost.
If you’re seeing this for the first time:
Heirloom is not a social app.
Not a feed.
Not a memorial journal.
It’s a private space where you can:
Create a place for someone you’ve lost
Add memories, photos, voice notes, messages
Revisit them slowly, one at a time
ALL IN ONE PLACE
Not everything at once.
Not scattered across your phone or your mind.
Just… gentle access to what you still have.
🔸🔸 FEEDBACK, please. 🔸🔸
Now I need something different from you.
Not just “this is nice”
I want real feedback. Honest, even uncomfortable.
Did anything feel confusing?
Did anything feel unnecessary?
Did it feel meaningful… or just like another app?
Would you actually come back to it? Why or why not?
I’m very open to critique right now -
this is the stage where it can still change a lot.
So if you spend even 2-3 minutes on it,
that feedback genuinely shapes what this becomes next.
🔸 I’m listening 🔸
this is such a nice concept! make sure you record a walkthrough too and share it here to qualify for a prize :)
