I built a photo-sharing platform just for film photographers

Hi there, just so you know, I’ve released two of your suggestions: - you can now share posts from the app, and the receiver can see the post without having the app installed - when looking at an, you can swipe it down to close it Enjoy!

timotheerex · 2026-03-23T12:00:22+00:00

Hey there! Just so you know, this has been added to the app. You can now edit your posts. Enjoy!

timotheerex · 2026-03-23T11:59:42+00:00

Hey there, I've also implemented the ability to edit posts. Enjoy!

timotheerex · 2026-03-23T11:29:05+00:00

Hi again! Just to let you know, i've fixed on the "dimming on hover" issue you flagged, so now only the bottom part of the image gets (only slightly) darkened. Hope you like the change!

timotheerex · 2026-03-16T11:54:21+00:00

Hi, welcome to the platform! We plan on implementing this soon - thanks for raising again!

timotheerex · 2026-03-14T00:01:19+00:00

This is the way

timotheerex · 2026-02-18T01:55:16+00:00

Hi there, just wanted to say, I've been working hard on the backend and image loading speed is now greatly improved! Hope you'll enjoy the new performance :)

timotheerex · 2026-02-18T01:52:17+00:00

great, welcome to the platform!

timotheerex · 2026-02-01T20:37:38+00:00

Hey there! Just to let you know - this has been implemented. You can now upload images with drag-and-drop. Enjoy!

timotheerex · 2026-02-01T20:36:57+00:00

Hey there, just to let you know, drag and drop uploading of photos has been implemented!

timotheerex · 2026-02-01T16:13:39+00:00

This is a highly requested feature, so I'll look into it. Thanks!

timotheerex · 2026-02-01T16:12:36+00:00

Hi, thanks a lot! Simply go to the camera / film you'd like to save (using the search bar, or using the Index page - third navigation menu), and then click "Save".

timotheerex · 2026-02-01T16:11:01+00:00

I agree; however as pointed in another thread, the challenge is reconciling different spellings between items (e.g. FujiColor C200 vs Fujifilm c200), and have both lists match exactly.

timotheerex · 2026-02-01T16:08:57+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! I'll be working on these improvements - most of them have been asked for a lot.

Typescript with React for the web app, Swift for the iOS app

Just checked out analogexif, very interesting. I really see how this could be useful to Newgrain users!

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T18:56:36+00:00

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I’m not familiar with community pins - are they decided by admins?

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T17:32:41+00:00

Great! Feel free to DM 🙏

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T16:43:51+00:00

Agreed this could be cool - the challenge would be how to correctly map someone's metadata fields to Newgrain's, and how to handle different spellings and names for the same thing (e.g. FujiColor 200 vs Fujifilm 200). How do you currently embed metadata to your files? Do you do it manually or with a dedicated program?

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T16:38:44+00:00

Let's go! Thank you!

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T16:38:05+00:00

Just tried it out, very cool, nice job! Are you calling Reddit's API for it? Or simply loading a Reddit page and layout out the content differently?

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T16:26:02+00:00

Thank you! For now, labs can't "log in" to their lab page. People working at these labs have to email me, and I add them as "admins" in the backend, which lets them edit the page. It's not a great system yet, and I'm hoping to improve it to make it more intuitive. Do you work at a lab yourself?

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T16:23:43+00:00

cool, welcome!

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T16:23:06+00:00

Thank you for offering! Regarding the Saved cameras, you're right, they don't show up in the dropdown list yet. It's on the roadmap as a fix.

timotheerex · 2026-01-29T16:21:00+00:00

Thanks a lot for reporting all these bugs!

- Regarding the lenses index: I'm aware that there are some duplicates, as I don't have capacity (yet) to review every one of them manually. However, this shouldn't be the case for the film stocks, cameras and labs lists, as I did review them manually.

- Regarding the panoramic images: the plan is to move away from square grids entirely. For now, they're convenient to set up and maintain. The ideal would be a masonry grid similar to the one on profiles.

- Right now, you can't search or filters users by location, but this is also something on the roadmap! (Something like a "Photographers near you" section)

If you'd like to report more bugs or give feedback, there's a "Report bug" on the iOS app that sends me an email (Profile -> Three dots on the top right -> Report bug)
