The Problem

A.k.a., what are we even trying to solve, and why?

Say you take a picture one day that you like, perhaps this one

You’d like to publish it somewhere online, but for some reason you want to avoid social media. It would be great if you had a simple page for this, almost a portfolio of sorts. Something with as little friction as possible.

And that’s the vision: a web application that on the outside shows a bunch of your pictures in a minimalistic interface, something like this:

I drew this in Freeform.app

Clicking a thumbnail opens the full picture.

Dragging a photo on one of the squares uploads it there.

The whole thing is hosted on a URL like twentyfive.by/matej

And that’s it! All of the other bells and whistles are completely optional!

Now, are there any other reasons to build this?
