Memories disappear. Hard drives fail. Social media platforms shut down. The photos on your phone are one accident away from being gone forever. Etherith exists because that shouldn't be true — because your family's history deserves permanence, not contingency.
Built on IPFS, Etherith stores your files permanently and makes them accessible from anywhere. Upload photos, videos, and documents. Browse your archive in a beautiful feed. Keep some memories private, share others with the world. Search by meaning, not just keywords. And when you want to go deeper — ask the AI agent about your family history, and let it help you explore what you've preserved.
This is for everyone who has ever looked at an old photo and wished there were more of them. For families whose histories have been scattered, lost, or never written down at all.
I built Etherith because permanence matters. Because the photographs your grandmother kept in a shoebox deserve the same care as anything else we call important. Because Black family history in particular has been scattered, suppressed, and lost in ways that can't always be undone — and I wanted to build something that pushed back against that.
IPFS means your files don't live on a server I own, a platform that could shut down, or a hard drive that could fail. They live on the network, permanently, for as long as the network exists.
The AI agent came from a simpler place: I wanted to be able to sit with my family's memories and ask questions. To have a conversation with the archive. To feel like the past was still present.
