    Hi Everyone,

    I have built a website which offers people the opportunity to create video time capsules so they can share their thoughts about what the future holds or perhaps send their future selves a message. Basically, people can upload a video message and then it gets stored away until a selected time in the future (as indicated by a countdown clock) at which point the full video is available to view and offers a window into the past.

    The website is https://www.videostasis.com/ and I would really appreciate some feedback on:
    a) are video time capsules a good idea?
    b) what could I do to improve the website?
    c) what is the most effective (low cost) way of raising awareness about my website?

    Thanks a lot - John

    the idea isn't that bad but i can't really see it taking off until like a couple years when/if some good videos emerge that people stored predicting the future. I would say share it on a site like reddit.com people usually like that kind of stuff there.

    I have not found this kind of site before. Really nice site. But people won't know your idea when they first visit your site. Create one vision page or about us page so that they will better understand your idea.
