This project addresses the Flickr Foundation's goal to protect users' photos on Flickr for a century.

Our research revealed that personal micro-archives, passed down through generations, are the most effective way to ensure these resources remain safe and accessible. Consequently, we proposed the concept of a digital legacy. We also identified that the current centralized network poses a risk, as it allows institutions and powerful individuals to potentially destroy digital property. To better safeguard users' digital memories, we developed a prototype platform utilizing a peer-to-peer network.




Collaborative project:
I involved in fomulate the concept and in charge of designing the platform.
Later, I developed further to build an independent platform, named Digital Legacy Cabinet.

The Digital Legacy Cabinet website offers a service for individuals to manage and transfer their digital legacy to their chosen heirs. The website collaborates with popular social media platforms such as Flickr, Instagram, Facebook, WeChat, etc. It allows people to manage the account including content and photos they have shared on these platforms to be inherited or closed after the passing away.
