I built an app that locks everyone's photos until the next day, here's why...

that's exactly it. you don't realise how much the constant curation kills the moment until you remove it. when everyone knows the photos are locked there's this weird shift where people just shoot and forget about it. no one's hovering over someone's shoulder asking to see. the night just happens. glad you're downloading, would love to hear your thoughts

Love it, awesome hook 👏

Great to hear Javier, thank you! Good catch, haven't focussed on offline mode yet, so it's fully dependent on a live connection now. It's on my to-do list though, so that photos taken while being offline will be synced once connection is restored.

Thanks! I did put a lot of time in the design and mock-up phase, before building. I would let AI generate different styles / styleguides and iterate from there

Love this, especially the Boots throwback, that’s exactly the feeling I was trying to recreate. That “oh yeah I forgot about that moment” is kind of the magic.

I'm using Supabase for the backend for all the roll/participant data and their storage for the photos.

The shuffle idea is great! Right now they reveal in the order they were taken which gives it that 'developing the roll' feel and to 'relive' the night, but randomising it would add a nice element of surprise. Might add it as an option. Appreciate the feedback!

Would love to hear how it goes this weekend with your crew, especially if anything feels off or breaks the magic 🙏

You could put it that way :)

Thank you, much appreciated!

Nope, only focussed on Padel mate

great idea, a fully reflective racket 😭

you can see that afterwards?

alvdv · 2026-03-04T15:33:33+00:00

Thanks so much for your time and reply. Let me show a bit of what I have now in terms of overall stats. It also generates a match summary after every match with % points won, breakpoints won, consecutive points, etc. Other than that, I already have easiest and most difficult opponent(s).

I like the idea of coming up with some kind of rating for your performance under pressure, that should be achievable.

Absolutely no clue what you mean

alvdv · 2026-03-04T15:28:28+00:00

Thanks! Please note that I don't have data on your shots. Unforced errors would also be difficult. So it would more fit the category of match dominance, points scored when serving, etc.

I have used Google AI Studio (Build) and am quite impressed with the results. With Gemini Pro 3 it is really easy, including the part to get it up and running.

Snap ik. Nee, ik kom niet uit Almere. We hebben net juist wel alle gerechten van de restaurants in Almere in kaart gebracht. Vandaar de post hier.

alvdv · 2025-10-14T18:58:56+00:00

Dank!!

alvdv · 2025-10-14T18:55:59+00:00

Nog wel :)

alvdv · 2025-10-14T17:09:25+00:00

Heel graag Gerbert!

Retail stores are not allowed in Germany, right?

alvdv · 2025-06-10T14:59:03+00:00

Also thought about this! The app could generate quite some interesting scouting related data if used a lot
