The Journey of Tapkeen: Part 1 - The Idea

We've all had that "That could be an App" moment, but how do we turn that idea into something real?

For me, that journey started with an idea I had for my wedding.

We wanted a simple way for all our guests to share their photos in one place. Not just the polished, professional ones but those in-the-moment snaps that really tell the story.

So, I made a web service. Easy, accessible, and it did the job.

But as I was building it, I thought - why stop here?

I had the foundation, so why not create a fully featured platform, where those everyday moments could be turned into something more?

My initial thoughts were to create a personalized stock photo service, where your everyday photos could be sold for royalties. But as I started working on it, the code lines grew, and so did the vision. The idea was evolving, becoming something bigger, something that not just I, but everyone could be a part of.

Fast forward to today, and that idea has morphed into Tapkeen.

It's an app where users can share their moments and insights in any form, and in return receive Keencoins, exchangeable for real money.

(It's now available on App Store and Google Play ;) )

Anyway, if you've got an "app idea" that's been brewing in your head, maybe it's time to give it a shot?

I'm going to share everything about how Tapkeen came to life - the good, the bad, and everything in between. Keep an eye out for my upcoming posts in the "Journey of Tapkeen" series. I'll be giving you a sneak peek into all the challenges and victories we encountered along the way.

Every idea has the potential to turn into something great.
