Hide your private photos, in plain sight!
I made a little application that lets you scramble and obfuscate your private photos so that you can store and share them without anybody seeing them unless they have the correct password! Just upload an image, type in a password, and the securely scrambled image will be downloaded automatically.
The code is open source here: https://github.com/dasveloper/Scrambly
Uploading and scrambling is all done within the browser so no need to worry about someone spying on the server side.
Disclaimer: I would test it out before destroying any originals in case you can't successfully restore the image for some reason. Also, this hasn't been tested by security professionals so I can't attest for how secure it truly is.
Very cool project! I thought the cover image was sand at first. What's like your next plan?
No plans, honestly I’ll probably just let it live out there for free and die eventually. It was just one of those ideas I had but it doesn’t have any marketable traits.
As I'm reading this, I'm also reading your previous "Build it, post it, let it die" post in the recommended feed. You need to stop doing this, spending hours building it and just letting it die?
You see, people came here and voted for you. And then there's me commenting on it. There are people here working on projects with 0 votes and then get their first sale after months or years. Then turn to be a successful project. If you need help ask here, you'll get plenty of it. Stop abandoning projects and start working on it.
If you need more help reach out to me on my Twitter, DMs open or via the email in my profile.
Fair point, but this really only took about an hour someone posted a similar product on Reddit and I threw this up so I could show them my take on it. You can see I never even bought a domain for it, it was never intended to be a sellable product as I’m fairly sure there is 0 commercial value in it (what would I sell?).
Since that post you mentioned I’ve been working on building a single product in public to avoid letting it die, you can see the last post for that here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/jamform-day-13-tons-of-jamform-feature-updates-38d17d34db. I just worked on this project while I was waiting on a customer support response preventing me from moving forward with Jamform for the day.
Mmm thanks for sharing.
It doesn't have to have commercial value, all it needs is value and your project has it.
There's more ways to get that value out of it, i.e monetizing your project. You can sell this as one-off service, put ads on it, the usual ways.
Or you can use this as a marketing tool for your other projects. I don't know much about Jam but I assume it's a form service. You can embed a form on this page saying it is powerd by Jamforms and even a short pitch.
Since you're building in public (in Twitter?), you could tell a bit about you and ask the visitors to follow you. And instead of just adding a GitHub link at the bottom, you could ask us to star you on there, then to grow a following on GitHub.
You'll know how much you're missing until you use these CTAs.
