Private beta. A few families at a time.

Some stories only get told once.

Start a new group chat with TellYours and the people you love: a parent, a grandparent, a partner, or yourself. It asks about their lives one question at a time, and what they tell it becomes a memoir to keep and share.

Thank you. We'll write when there's a place for your family.

Your father used to walk you down that same street as a girl. Was opening your shop there a coincidence?
Sari
God. I never once put those two things together.
CHAPTER TWO
The shop
Jalan Kembang, 1968–1989

She has always described it as small. Everyone else describes it as the centre of the family for twenty years.

“Ah, it was only a little place.”

…and a month later, in her memoir

It gets its own group chat.

A new group on WhatsApp, or whatever you already use. Nothing new for anyone to learn.

They answer however they like.

Typing, voice notes, old photos, a short video. It remembers, and follows up.

It becomes their memoir.

In their words and their voice. A private story site first, then a book and a film.

Beta privat. Beberapa keluarga dulu.

Ada cerita yang hanya dituturkan sekali.

Buat grup chat baru bersama TellYours dan orang-orang yang Anda sayangi: orang tua, kakek-nenek, pasangan, atau diri Anda sendiri. Ia menanyakan kisah hidup mereka satu per satu, dan cerita mereka menjadi memoar untuk disimpan dan dibagikan.

Terima kasih. Kami akan menghubungi Anda saat ada tempat untuk keluarga Anda.

Dulu ayah Ibu sering mengajak Ibu menyusuri jalan itu. Apakah membuka toko di sana kebetulan?
Sari
Ya ampun. Tak pernah terpikir keduanya berhubungan.
BAB DUA
Toko
Jalan Kembang, 1968–1989

Ia selalu menyebutnya kecil. Semua orang lain menyebutnya pusat keluarga selama dua puluh tahun.

“Ah, cuma tempat kecil.”

…dan sebulan kemudian, di memoarnya

Punya grup chat sendiri.

Grup baru di WhatsApp, atau aplikasi yang sudah Anda pakai. Tak ada yang perlu belajar hal baru.

Mereka menjawab sesukanya.

Mengetik, catatan suara, foto lama, video pendek. Ia mengingat, dan bertanya lebih jauh.

Menjadi memoar mereka.

Dengan kata-kata dan suara mereka. Situs cerita privat dulu, lalu buku dan film.
