AVA App Revamp & Marketing

I built AVA – A Vital Archive – to give families and organisations a simple, secure place to preserve stories, photos and documents. After investing about $40 k in development I now need help tightening the product and getting it in front of the people who care most about history and legacy.

Code & Current State
• Source lives in my private GitHub repo (React-Native front end with a Node/Express back end).
• AI summarisation and tagging is already wired in but is not functioning correctly.
• Users sometimes hit slow load times and the occasional crash when browsing large collections.

What I need next month
1. Bug fixes and performance improvements that keep the app smooth even with thousands of images or large video files.
2. Reactivate and hard-test the built-in AI module so it reliably auto-tags new uploads and generates short summaries.
3. An initial marketing game-plan tailored to archivists, genealogists and anyone passionate about preserving legacy—social channels, email sequences or SEO angles; I’m open to whichever mix you feel will get real traction.

Partnership & Budget
I can commit roughly $500 per month in cash starting next month and am prepared to negotiate a profit-sharing stake for the right long-term partner who is excited by the mission.

Acceptance criteria
• Latest build runs crash-free through a 10 GB media stress-test.
• AI feature produces usable tags and a summary for at least 90 % of test uploads.
• A three-month marketing roadmap delivered (channels, key messages, metrics).
