My Year

Congrats @fredrivett & @mikeaag your product is awesome. I was thinking of doing a Year in Review but I was struggling to write it until I came across your website. I did a MyYear page and it's so easy. As @bentossell said autocustomisation(for example: followers on Twitter, numbers of miles run via Runkeeper/Strava...) would be awesome but It's already great. Thanks so much. Also I really like the idea of a #Hackmas.

Thanks for hunting us Ben! So the story behind this is covered more fully over on our Medium post (https://medium.com/@fredrivett/h...), but the shorter story is that this tweet from Jeremy Cowart (https://medium.com/@fredrivett/h...) just before Christmas inspired an idea for a cool project, which then became a Christmas hackathon that took up every spare hour when we weren't seeing family & eating too much food. That brought us to last night with still a fair amount to do, so an all-nighter has finished off the bits needed for launch and we're really excited to get this out to you all! There's obvious features that can be added to make this better, but I'd love to hear your thoughts, we're a little tired right now but will try and pop some quick upgrades in as we go. Oh and here's #MyYear2015! https://myyear.co/@FredRivett/2015 At some point we'll probably crash out for a nap, but we'll be around as much as we can today, so feel free to drop some comments below with thoughts/feedback/questions 👍

Hey @FredRivett & @mikeaag - nice project... and name! :) Here at PastBook we've recently launched a "My Year" app (web/iOS) to get your full Year in Review from Facebook and Instagram in a snap - with all your great moments of the year in a photo book: https://www.pastbook.com/my-year... Hunted on PH early this month: https://www.producthunt.com/tech... Perhaps we can do something together? Let me know if I can help. Cheers

Congrats @FredRivett and @mikeaag! Taking just 5 minutes to sit down and think back about what you've achieved in the past year actually makes you realise how much you've actually achieved ... well, I certainly did! I love the simplicity and customisation of the sections! Would be cool to have more selection of photos to choose from, but that's a minor request 🙊 Here's mine: https://myyear.co/@gadgick/2015

the design looks really nice. One suggestion is that I was a little confused about what it was for...specifically I got an image of a dog and it was telling me to put text over it but I don't have a dog. I *think* the value prop is "make a pretty version of your accomplishments this year" (at least that's how @bentossell used it). An alternate flow might be "list 3 things you accomplished this year" and then the next screen shows the beautiful version of it. I also really like the personalization suggestions but that obviously starts to be more work than for a weekend project. Congrats on releasing the project!

I like it. Always fuss about using FBs "your year" and choose not to because it isn't any good. This tool gives me the right tools to make one just the way I like it. Very nice, good luck!

@FredRivett & @mikeaag, great work guys! Love the site and the domain is really good. I know you guys didn’t have much time and for the time you did have you did an amazing job! In the future my only wish would be to use my actual photos. Much easier building a timeline in my opinion. FYI, www.myyear.co doesn’t work (404), just thought you should know! Again, great work fellas!
