The Year in Review is a new page that shows your achievements and goals from the current and previous years in a nice and easy to understand way.

The link is available in the Profile Page > Year in Review.

Let's dig into the details of the Year in Review; it features:

• Count of items completed in the current year.
• Including new countries and cities visited in the current year.
• Own photos overlayed on the items.

For your own photos, there's a special subsection called "Photo Memories". If you add a photo to an item, it will be overlayed on the item. It's also easy to add a photo to an item in that view.

You can also navigate through previous years and share your Year in Review with your friends via social media.

5. 🙏 Support the Project

Servers, databases, high-resolution images, and countless hours of work add up — even a €3 coffee-tip helps keep Bucketly growing

Hey, I'm glad you are reading this section :) I'm personally very determined and dedicated to make Bucketly a success. My goal is to help people to achieve their dreams and make them happy. The project itself is hugely time-, energy-, and money-consuming.

The project is a new territory for me, but it's also challenging and rewarding. Whenever I see new users coming to the page or users making even tiny actions, it's a huge motivation to keep going.

If you want to support me and help me achieve my goal, please consider donating, even with a coffee-tip. I'm working on many other exciting features, so the Bucketly grows more and more, and I'm super happy to see that people are using it.

If you don't wish to support the project, please consider sharing the website with your friends. It's a great way to help the project grow and it gives me a wind in my sails!
