## Description

The Obituary App collects obituaries posted by funeral homes and organizes them into city-based feeds, so users can follow multiple cities and see all related obituaries in one place. The app emphasizes two feeds: Focused for larger towns and Relevant for smaller towns, based on how obituaries mention places.

Each obituary is displayed as an Obituary Card featuring the decedent's name, photo, age (if available), and the city of death, along with actions to express condolences, send flowers, view the full obituary, share, save to a memory wall, indicate attendance, or report misinformation. Administrators can moderate submissions by other users. The app also includes a historical "On This Day" feature for engaging reading and community connection during difficult times.

### Cons

- Data not up-to-date and search results unreliable (last obituary posted 3/15/26 vs 5/5/26; searches not related; many duplicates slowing things).
- Limited city coverage and onboarding friction (few cities available; birth date requirement with scrolling; non-interactive city field).
- Poor support/contact experience (unable to contact support; contact options show email but require phone number; links loop to signup).
- Performance and UI issues (slow loading due to duplicates; annoying pop-ups).
