24 alternatives to I open sourced my image sharing application
I made an image sharing application to compete with Imgur. Chances are it's not going to take over Imgur any time soon, so I figured I'd open source it. Stack: * Symfony w/ PHP 5.5 * Postgres 9.2 * Redis 2.8 * Ruby 2.0 (Capistrano) * Vagrant It's a fairly basic Symfony application but also makes use of a lot of Symfony components. It's sufficiently complex enough that you can probably learn a decent amount from it if you want to start playing around with Symfony. It has a few tests, uses Resque, uses the Symfony service container, and integrates with Amazon S3. Check it out, would love…
An open-source image sharing application built with Symfony, PHP, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Designed for developers learning Symfony architecture, the application demonstrates practical implementation of framework… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I open sourced my image sharing application launched in 2013; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

I was frustrated with photo sharing sites. Apple's iCloud shared albums take 20+ seconds to load, and everything else comes with ads, cumbersome UIs, or social media distractions. I just want to share photos with friends and family: fast, mobile-friendly, distraction-free. So I built DD Photos. You export photos from whatever you already use (Lightroom, Apple Photos, etc.) into folders, run `photogen` (a Go CLI) to resize them to WebP and generate JSON indexes, then deploy the SvelteKit static site anywhere that serves files. Apache, S3, whatever. No server-side code, no database. Built over…

As you can tell, it's heavily influenced by Mark Bao's threewords.me. The concept is simple, upload three pics and let your friends vote on them. In fact, I think I may have ripped the concept off a post about threewords.me. Anyways... Basically, I just wanted to build something stripped down to a core functionality and a little different from my usual projects. I've spent a lot of time polishing the flow and trying to make sharing an inherent part of the app. It's built on Ruby/Padrino/Sinatra, Postgres and uses S3 for image hosting. This is actually my first Ruby project coming from a pure…

After I posted about https://cosme.dev/ask-docs on Reddit I received some messages asking me how If I was going to make the code open source or if I could show them how I did it. So I decided to create this repo so you can take a look at the code and maybe apply the same techniques on your own apps. It's made using only PHP as language so I think is pretty different since most stuff out there is made using python or javascript. It uses the OpenAI API and Redis as a vector database.

Hey HN! I built this free and open-source tool out of frustration with how difficult it is to share vacation photos and pictures of our kids with friends and family. There is no tool that lets me create a shareable web gallery with a great mobile experience, the ability to add detailed descriptions, and no login required. The CLI tool scans a folder and all sub-folders for photos and videos, generates thumbnails optimized for speed and finally creates a static web site to showcase the photos and tell their story. As the gallery is static, you can easily self-host it on any static hosting…

Hey guys, I needed a way to convert Code, CSV, and Markdown snippets to shareable images so I built this over the weekend. It all runs locally in the browser using a few lines of jQuery. Nothing fancy. Sharing in case someone else might find it useful!

After a lot of work, I'm proud to show HN my first real "startup idea". HN has been a real inspiration to me. Attach.io allows users to upload files up to 2GB (soon to be 8GB) and share them with others. Attach.io offers the regular file for download, and also if possible, an alternative preview version, so users can view files on their iPad for example. PSD files get converted to PNG AVI, WMV etc... to MP4 EPS/AI to PDF DOC(X), PPT(X) etc... to PDF This is a sneak preview, and is not 100% complete. Things I still have on my ToDo list: Allow users to email link to others, currently they have…

My sister asked me if I can set up a site similar to jack.ventures for her a month ago. She said it was open source (https://github.com/Jack000/Expose) and should be easy and I just need to run a script (rolls eyes). I did that and two weeks later her friends saw it and want me to run the same script for them. So I decided to take some weekends to build something similar using nodejs/redis/mysql, put up a user registration page, user profile page and add some editing features. So now everyone can sign up without me having to run any 'script'. Just push the first…

Hey HN! I built this because I was tired of manually creating OG images for every blog post and side project. How it works: - Send a POST request with JSON (title, subtitle, template, etc.) - Get back a PNG in ~50-100ms - No Puppeteer, no browser automation — uses node-canvas for fast server-side rendering Live demo on the homepage (no signup needed). Free tier includes 10 images/month. I'm launching on Product Hunt today too, but honestly HN feedback is what I care about most. Would love to hear: - What templates would be useful? - Any features missing? Happy to answer questions about…
