Hi all, thank you and great to be on PH. Let's kick off with a brief intro and we love to answer all your questions plus receive your valuable feedback! Nowadays the number of replies and likes on flattered and egocentric social media messages seem more important than they’ve ever been. Almost everything is about I-and-now, whereas people forget to think about how people they care about, will remember them once they passed away. Our idea of Open at the Close emerged when Bart, one of the founders, flew 6 miles high and asked himself the question: what if we crash now? Even though he couldn’t change anything about the situation, he did want to record everything that was happening for the next 30 seconds with the push of a single button. With OATC we are developing an unselfish app that enables you to record the most beautiful moments in life and share them with the people you love. Especially when you are not able to share them yourself anymore. We hope you like the idea and are looking forward to your feedback so we can further improve the app and make sure no one ever has to say "I wish I had" nor "I wish I knew" anymore.

Interesting idea although I'm not really sure when I'm not around anymore? 🤔

Thank you @bramk, luckily (or unfortunately) most of us won't know this! It could be anytime, the one thing we know for sure is that you want to assure that if something unfortunate happens, you'd like to be able to tell your loved ones how much they meant to you or leave a happy memory behind.

Nice idea! Stewardesses before the flight will tell: "while we are preparing for the flight, install the application”.

@perpetuous for the anxiety flyers it might be a bit too much: think about your last moment because it might come sooner than you think. But well yes maybe pre-boarding at the gate could be a useful idea.
