Description
Memora Board turns any WordPress page into a live memory wall. Guests freely draw messages with their finger or mouse — no account needed — and see everyone’s contributions displayed in a smooth, real-time slider.
Perfect for weddings, graduation parties, corporate events, birthdays, and any occasion where you want guests to leave a lasting mark.
Memora Board is fully functional, free and open source — no trial, no time limit, no locked features.
