A Ukrainian created a “digital cemetery.” How the Zhady digital memorial service works with QR codes on monuments
The Zhady digital memorialization service has appeared in Ukraine — a platform that allows you to create online pages of memory of the deceased and link them to real burials via QR codes.
The Zhady digital memorialization service has appeared in Ukraine — a platform that allows you to create online pages of memory of the deceased and link them to real burials via QR codes.
Initially, the developer presented the concept of a «digital cemetery» — a service where you can create a memory page with a person’s biography, photos, videos and family memories. The idea is to preserve the history of a person’s life and pass it on to future generations in a digital format. Over time, the project evolved into a full-fledged Zhady platform with expanded functionality.
The platform is designed to preserve a person’s digital memory — their life story, photos, important events, and family memories. Here, you can create a memory page that will help preserve family history and pass it on to children, grandchildren, and future generations.
A digital memorial allows you to gather your family archive in one place: add a biography, photos, memories of loved ones, and other important materials. A memory page can contain both a public part accessible to everyone and a private family section for personal documents and family memories.
A key feature of the service is the ability to generate a QR code that can be placed on a monument. After scanning, the user is taken to a digital memorial with a biography, photos, videos, and memories of the person.
A memory page can consist of two parts: a public one — open to everyone, and a private one — a family archive with limited access. The platform also offers a simple constructor and the ability to create biographies using AI.
It is separately noted that the service supports the creation of both civilian and military memorials — in particular, to preserve the memory of the fallen defenders.
The monetization model involves a one-time payment of $199 for creating a memorial page. The cost includes publishing the memorial, storing data, and supporting the service for a long time. At the same time, at the start, users are offered free access using the promo code westart26.
According to the author, the goal of the project is to help preserve the most valuable: the memory of loved ones, which is often lost over time along with photographs, documents, and family stories.
