Memory Mission

What is memory? Nobody truly knows. There is no consensus among specialists in each of the respected fields within cognitive science, which goes to show how much of a mystery memory truly is. Though it remains a mystery, we endeavor to progress our understanding of the concept.

The phenomenon of memory impacts every aspect of our lives. From our early years as infants learning to talk, to training for a new career later in life, it plays an integral role. Memory is not just what we remember, but who we are, and what we ultimately become.

- Built memorymission.org on Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Postgres, deployed on Vercel. Every public page is served from the database, not hardcoded. - Wrote an in-house CMS instead of adopting one: block-based editor, draft/published states, audit log on every change, plus managers for team, media, users, email, and applications. - Built a real-time collaborative page editor. Editors click to edit text in place, drag images onto the page, and see each other's cursors and margin comments as they work. - Built a custom interactive timeline that reads from a Google Sheet and compresses empty stretches of history into marked breaks, with zoom from centuries down to months. - Own auth (Google OAuth with role-based access), media storage on Cloudflare R2, transactional email, realtime messaging, migrations, and analytics.
