I got frustrated trying to get property photos from my agent so I built something. Looking for feedback from agents.

When I was house hunting earlier this year, getting property photos from my agent was a constant headache. Emails with 15 attachments, Google Drive links I couldn't open because of permissions, iMessage threads I had to scroll through to find the right property. It was just disorganized.

So I tried building something that I thought might help, making sharing property photos easier with a quick workflow of uploading, hitting publish, and sending the client one link. The client clicks it and a slideshow plays instantly in their browser. No app, no login, no permissions to deal with.

Here's a live example of what I as a buyer would have liked to have seen: https://www.slidefast.app/s/eqiylt64

From the Agent's side, you can customize logo and brand colors applied to every slideshow automatically. Takes about 5 minutes to set up in your profile.

I'm genuinely not sure if the problem I ran into was just my agent being disorganized or if this is a real thing agents deal with. Would love to hear from people who actually work in this industry:

  • Is the photo sharing thing a real pain point or did I just have a very disorganized or disinterested agent?
  • Would something like this fit into how you work with clients?
  • What would be missing for this to actually be useful to you?

Happy to give anyone here free trial access to poke around. Just let me know!

Slidefast.app - Built a slideshow maker after struggling to put one together for a memorial

Hey everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster.

I’d been feeling guilty about not being able to put together a photo slideshow on a screen for my dog’s memorial at the crematorium, ran into some friction with the people running the place and couldn’t get it sorted in time.

Recently i’d been thinking about the problem i had and the tools i wish i had to instantly build a simple slideshow on my phone and be able to share it fast. That’s why i built slidefast.app

It’s a simple and clean minimalistic picture slideshow generator that creates a link that allows you to open the slideshow on any browser, and doesn’t require logging in to any file sharing service or email or anything of that sort. (Also doesn’t require a video player or PowerPoint)

When building it I also took into consideration the fact that if I sent the people owning the crematorium the slideshow/images there’s no guarantee that they would delete it, or if I had time and used a big name company to build the slideshow it wouldn’t get used to train AI or sold for data or something like that. So I added some privacy features I thought I or any users might appreciate (password protection, deletes in 7 days).

Hoping to share this and get some feedback here. New users right now automatically get a credit to build a slideshow and test it out. Would love to hear thoughts on whether you would find this tool useful!
