The Solution

Building LifaLog’s platform wasn’t just about coding an app—it was about creating a tool that addressed real emotional needs practically and thoughtfully. We approached the project with a clear plan and a focus on collaboration, ensuring that every detail aligned with the vision of a meaningful and user-friendly memorial platform.

QA
  1. Requirement Gathering & Conceptualization
  2. We started by listening. What did LifaLog’s team need? What challenges did they foresee? Together, we mapped out the features, the user journeys, and the emotional tone the platform needed to achieve.
  3. Design in Figma
  4. Every screen and interaction was carefully designed in Figma, ensuring the layout felt intuitive and inviting. We prioritized simplicity, ensuring that even users unfamiliar with technology could comfortably create memorial pages.
  5. App Development with Bubble.io
  6. Using Bubble.io, we brought the designs to life. This visual development platform allowed us to move quickly while adapting to LifaLog’s feedback as their ideas evolved.
  7. Testing
  8. Before launching, we rigorously tested every feature—from AI obituary generation to the privacy settings. We invited users to try the platform, guiding adjustments to make the experience smooth and reliable.
  9. Launch
  10. The initial launch focused on the free version, offering three obituary builder tools. This allowed users to try the platform and familiarize themselves with its capabilities.
  11. Post-Launch Support
  12. Our work didn’t stop after deployment. We stayed connected with LifaLog, addressing bugs, refining features, and assisting with the rollout of the paid version and flower delivery integration.

To ensure efficiency and scalability, we used Bubble.io for development, which offered the flexibility needed for rapid iteration. For payments, we integrated Stripe, setting up a seamless way for users to access the paid version when it launched.

Another standout was linking with a flower delivery service, which added a meaningful, easily accessible option for users to express their condolences. One of the most significant hurdles was training the AI to generate genuinely appropriate obituaries. Striking the right balance between technical execution and emotional sensitivity required careful refinement.

Our team worked tirelessly to fine-tune the AI, ensuring it could assist users in creating respectful and thoughtful tributes during deeply emotional times. The result? A platform that met the technical expectations and captured the heart of LifaLog’s vision—a space where families could come together to honor and celebrate lives in their own unique way.

The Challenge

When LifaLog approached us, they had a vision that was as ambitious as it was heartfelt. They wanted to rethink how we remember our loved ones in the digital age.

Traditional obituaries often feel cold and limited—there is only so much you can fit into a few lines in a newspaper. LifaLog wanted something different. They aimed to create a platform where families and friends could share stories, photos, and tributes that captured a person’s life and legacy.

But the challenge wasn’t just about building a digital space—it was about building one that felt personal, meaningful, and secure.

They needed tools that allowed users to create simple or elaborate memorial pages, whether through AI-assisted content or handcrafted tributes. At the same time, it had to be easy to use and respectful of the sensitive emotions involved. And then there was the issue of privacy.

How do you create a public space to celebrate lives while ensuring that only those closest to the family have control?

LifaLog was navigating a delicate balance between technology and humanity, and they needed a partner who could make that vision a reality.

The Idea

Lifalog

Discover how NerdHeadz developed Lifalog, a manual and AI-powered tool for building obituary designed to process grief with a grief journal.

LifaLog’s vision was simple yet deeply thoughtful: to create a space where people could celebrate the lives of their loved ones in a way that felt personal.

They wanted to move beyond the confines of traditional obituaries, making the process not only easier but also more meaningful. The idea was to design a platform where everyone, regardless of their tech-savvy, could build authentic and heartfelt memorials.

From the start, their goals were clear:

  • Build an intuitive and user-friendly interface so anyone can use it with ease.
  • Ensure the platform was as emotionally sensitive as it was technically advanced.
  • Offer diverse ways to honor someone’s memory, catering to individual needs.

This meant incorporating tools like an AI-powered obituary builder, which could create thoughtful tributes based on user input—ideal for moments when grief makes it hard to find the right words.

For those who preferred adding a personal touch, there were options to write custom memorials manually. For families who just wanted a simple space to share photos or memories, the platform allowed for basic memorial pages without obituaries.

LifaLog also understood the importance of privacy.

They created flexible settings, giving users control over who could access their loved one’s page. To make the experience even more impactful, the app included features like multimedia sharing—allowing people to contribute stories, photos, and reflections—and a thoughtful flower delivery integration to support grieving families tangibly.

Ultimately, LifaLog’s idea wasn’t just about paying tribute. It was about creating a platform that could evolve with its users, granting them the tools to honor lives in ways that felt both timeless and uniquely personal.
