Stamp Hunt started with a simple question: what if travel memories felt like a passport archive instead of a generic checklist?
The app is being built around that idea from the beginning. The visual language comes from passport covers, stamps, seals, and personal records. The product logic follows the same direction: countries become entries, evidence can make those entries stronger, and the archive grows in a way that feels collected instead of merely logged.
Why we are writing this blog
This space is where we want to talk about the work behind the app: interface choices, privacy decisions, proof tiers, scanning experiments, and the tradeoffs that come with keeping the product light and local-first.
The product shape
A few principles are staying consistent:
- the archive should feel personal, not administrative
- stronger evidence should change how a stamp looks and feels
- the core experience should stay private and readable, even as the system gets deeper
What comes next
Future entries will cover the design system, how the collection model evolved, what we learned from passport and boarding-pass scanning, and how launch preparation is taking shape.
