[Self-Promotion] I recently built a mobile app that simulates the film photography experience
At first, the idea felt pretty simple: let users choose a film roll, take photos, keep them locked until the roll is finished, and then “develop” them before seeing the final results. But once I actually started building it, I realized that the small details are what make the whole experience feel real.
The hardest part was probably the color system. I tried using AI to create LUTs at first, but the results looked off, so I had to actually learn how LUTs work and keep adjusting the colors myself. The design also went through two redesigns because the first version worked, but it didn’t feel consistent enough.
I also tried building the in-app purchase system myself, but after running into bugs and spending too much time on it, I switched to RevenueCat, which made things a lot smoother.
The whole process was messy, but I learned a lot from it. I’d appreciate it if you can give it a try, and give me the feedback overall and about ASO, color filter options,… as well.
