BNDS.life

September 2026 · one week of development

My role: Project concept, website design and development, video curation and deployment

At the start of my final year at university, I spent some spare time revisiting old videos from my final year of high school. Those moments with friends still meant a lot to me, so I wanted to collect them on a publicly accessible website where we could return to them together. I built the main features of BNDS.life in one week in September 2026; the project is now largely complete. Inspired by YouTube's browsing and playback design, I organized a year's worth of memories into longer videos grouped by month and short clips in a continuous vertical feed. Both formats let us write down the stories behind the footage, keeping those memories alongside the videos.

BNDS.life homepage with administrator-selected videos in the For You section and a chronological video list below — Homepage: recommended videos selected by the administrator appear at the top. Longer videos and short clips give friends two ways to revisit our memories.

BNDS.life longer-video list with thumbnails, titles and recording dates — Longer videos: grouped by month, bringing individual recordings together into a timeline of memories.

BNDS.life longer-video watch page with a player and story on the left and other videos on the right — Watch page: play a longer video and write down what happened in its Story section.

BNDS.life short-video page with a vertical player, up and down navigation and a Story button — Short clips: scroll up and down to keep watching, with an easy way to browse everyday moments.

BNDS.life short video with its Story panel open, showing the story and comments — Short-video stories: open Story beside the video to record the memories behind it, and add to them together through comments.
