Netflix Icon Hides Sweetest Surprise Proposal
10 Sep
Summary
- Filmmaker spent over 300 hours coding a fake app.
- Proposal hidden behind an ordinary Netflix icon.
- App featured couple's memories as movie titles.
Jared Greenwald, a filmmaker with minimal coding experience, dedicated over 300 hours to create a surprise proposal for his girlfriend, Rebecca Wright. He designed a fake streaming app, disguised behind the familiar Netflix icon on their TV.
Greenwald spent months and nights working on the project, starting with a simple idea to elevate an everyday moment. His app featured approximately 50 custom "movie" titles, each representing a shared memory, inside joke, or significant event in their relationship, complete with photos and logline-style descriptions.
The proposal occurred when Wright, ready to watch a show, clicked the Netflix icon. Instead of the usual interface, Greenwald's app launched, playing a video montage of their moments together. As the video concluded, Greenwald retrieved a hidden ring and proposed.
He advised others to focus on personal relationship elements for meaningful proposals, rather than grand gestures. Greenwald's unique, tech-infused proposal successfully met Wright's criteria for a private, romantic, and unexpected engagement.
