Pre-production
As much fun as it would be to just dive in and start writing code, things usually go a bit smoother if we spend a little time thinking about what we are about to do. First, we're going to go on a mental journey through using the app to determine all of the features that will be present in the finished product. Then we're going to consult a designer (that's going to be me) to determine what the app will look like, and collect any assets we might need. Finally, we're going to break that feature list down into a development plan that gives us an idea of the actual tasks that will need to be completed to deliver each feature.

The core feature of the app is that it lets the user make little snippets of life to save for later, which consist of text or images, or maybe later even web links or audio.
