Let Them Know

Overview

Let Them Know is a WordPress based web application that allows members to upload media and personal information to be distributed to family and friends of their choosing upon their death.

The web application provides a system for secure file uploads for each member, with an upload limit based on their membership level. The web application also provides a system for sending reminders to members via SMS and email, as it’s secondary value proposition.

If a site member dies, the site administration carries out the member’s wishes to distribute their media, typically in the form of self-recorded videos, to their loved ones.

Implementation Details

• Developed a secure file upload system with AWS S3, so that each member can have their own media which no other member or the public can access
• The members also needed the ability to play video media so a custom HTML5 player was developed for this purpose 
• Developed a system for SMS and email reminders using an integration with Twilio
• Upgraded the payment and subscriptions system
• Developed a customizable pricing page, for which I integrated with Woocommerce
• Built a custom admin interface for the management of user data
• Performed various enhancements to the site UI and signup flow by modifying the custom theme
