# One thing I knew pretty early while building Dumpp:

**Collecting everyone’s photos is only half the problem.**

You can already throw 500 photos into a shared cloud folder.

But honestly… how often do you actually go back and look through all of them?

I wanted opening a Dumpp album to feel more like discovering everyone’s photos from the night rather than browsing through a folder of files.

So I started experimenting with different ways to explore an album.

One of them is **Swipe Mode**.

You go through the photos one by one, swiping through what everyone uploaded.

Someone’s perfect group photo.

Swipe.

A completely blurry picture from 1AM.

Swipe.

A photo you didn’t even know someone took of you.

Swipe.

And suddenly you’ve gone through 100 photos. 😂

It’s a small feature, but I think things like this can make shared albums feel much more social and fun.

I’m curious though:

**Would you actually use a swipe mode for event photos, or would you rather just scroll through everything in a normal feed?**

I’m building Dumpp in public, so tell me what you’d prefer. 👇

One of the main reasons I started building Dumpp was something ridiculously simple:
**I was tired of asking people to send me the photos they took.**
After a night out, a trip, a birthday, a wedding… it’s always the same thing.
“Send me that photo.”
“Can you put them in the group?”
“Who took that picture?”
“Wait, I think Sarah has it.”
And then half of the photos just sit in someone’s camera roll forever.
So I started thinking: why isn’t there just one place where everyone at an event can **dump their photos together?**
That’s basically how Dumpp started.
Create an album → invite people → everyone adds what they captured.
But I’m also trying to make it more fun than just another shared cloud folder. I want opening an album after an event to feel like discovering the night again through everyone else’s camera.
I’m still actively building and improving the app, so I’m curious:
**What’s the most annoying thing about sharing photos with a group for you?**
Would genuinely love to hear what problems other people have with this.

Hey everyone!

I’m the developer behind **Dumpp**, a photo-sharing app I’ve been building around a simple problem:

**Everyone takes photos at events, but somehow you never end up with everyone’s photos.**

Some get sent on WhatsApp, some through AirDrop, some are posted on Instagram, and a lot of them just stay forgotten in someone’s camera roll.

So I built Dumpp.

You create a shared album, invite your friends or guests, and everyone can dump their photos into the same place. Then you can browse everything together instead of chasing people for pictures afterward.

I created this community because I want Dumpp to grow together with the people actually using it.

I’ll be sharing updates, new features, experiments, design decisions, and probably a few things that go wrong along the way 😅

But more importantly, **I want your feedback.**

Found something annoying? Tell me.

Have an idea for a feature? Post it.

Think something should work completely differently? I want to hear that too.

Dumpp is still at the beginning, and I’m excited to see what we can build from here.

Welcome to the community 🫶
