Hi everyone,

As an M-user, I’ve always felt that the standard way of sharing photos on social media—just a bare digital file—doesn't quite do justice to the images we create. I’ve always been inspired by the look of printed photography magazines like LFI or National Geographic, where the frame itself adds a sense of intent to the shot.

I’m an iOS developer, and I spent the last few months building Stamio. I wanted a tool that could instantly pull the metadata from my M10 (especially the lens info) and wrap it in a clean, professional-grade layout.

I just pushed an update with this new "Magazine" template. It uses a bold frame and a dynamic blurred background to give the photo some breathing room.

Why I designed this for the Leica workflow:

• Accurate EXIF Display: It correctly identifies lens data (like the Summilux 50mm f/1.4 ASPH in the sample) and presents it in a structured, elegant way.
• Minimalist Typography: I avoided flashy fonts. The goal is to keep the focus on the photography, using layouts that feel like a physical gallery mount.
• Custom Branding: You can add your own signature or a subtle "Design by" credit to keep it personal.
• No "AI" Over-processing: The app doesn't touch your pixels. It’s strictly about framing and presentation.

I’m a solo developer and this is a passion project. I’m currently working on more minimalist templates specifically inspired by legendary photobooks.

I’d love to hear what you think of the presentation style. If you have any suggestions for specific layouts that would look great with M-series shots, please let me know!

Honestly, I didn't believe the hype at first, but the Sumilux really gives that special Leica look
