Show HN: Digital scarcity; app where photos gradually decay with time / views

By dreadsword 1 min read 11 views 0 comments

Like instagram, but all photos have a shelf life: they can be up for year, an hour or ten minutes, or up until they're viewed 100 times, 1000 times or a million times, etc.The longer they're up, the more they fade - user chosen filters are applied gradually over the lifetime of the photo (be it measured in clicks or time), gradually obscuring it. At the end of its lifetime, the pictures faded / expired, and disappears, though comments remain.This is a fun side project of mine, An experiment in digital persistence and scarcity. And, yes its vibe coded, built on replit.Currently just a responsive web page (desktop, and works great on iOS devices, which I have). Native apps for android and iOS to follow should interest and time permit!
