🐶⌛️ About five years ago, my wife’s beloved dog, who had been with us for nearly a decade, tragically passed away in an accident 🪦. Living in the heart of the city made it incredibly difficult to find a proper burial site. We spent the entire day searching online and on social media but to no avail. In the end, we had no choice but to bury him in a public cemetery, though it didn’t feel right. To ease our grief, we gathered old photos, and printed them, and to this day, we still carry them in our wallets as a cherished memory.

This personal experience and some research inspired me to create exploration UI kit MVP product called byebyebuddies. The concept behind this product is to help people find proper burial sites for furbuddy and offer a medallion as a keepsake, which can either be placed at the burial site or kept as a personal memento, preserving the special moments shared with our beloved pets.

A while back, I visited a huge university in Indonesia, trying to find some old literary books. Since I couldn’t locate them, I went to the admin desk to ask, but there was quite a long queue—about eight people. If I estimated, it would take around 4 minutes to get through the line.

This got me thinking about creating an app to speed up this process. After chatting with the library staff, I started brainstorming ideas to solve this problem.
