Hi, Product Hunters! 👋 Really excited to finally share with you what we've been working on for a while — a better way to manage and share your content — Why Macula? 🤔👁️ The life of a content creator is reliant on exposure. On the one hand, you're always looking for ways to gain more visibility, hoping for people to spot and appreciate your work. On the other hand, the more you share, the greater the risk of unauthorized use and loss of control over your creations. Further amplified by the rise of AI algorithms hungry for training data (a.k.a. content scraping), on top of the longstanding problem of "freebooting" that has plagued creators for years. — Growth or Control? For creators, it's a frustrating choice: sacrifice rights for potential growth, or stifle reach to protect your work. This is a bad business model for the creative economy. — We say Both! We believe you shouldn't have to choose. Creators should be able to grow their audience without compromising their rights and set their terms for the content they share. 🔗©️ >> And that's exactly why we built Macula. A future-proof content management tool for creators designed to let you focus on what matters most: creating. Meanwhile, we take care of all the boring (yet super important) stuff. ✅ We've got all the functionality you'd expect from a typical digital asset management platform: asset management, image editing, on-the-fly optimization, analytics, and sharing. ➕✨ And much more: ©️🦹 Metadata Hero: copyright info automatically embedded for your work (readable by humans & machines). No more "borrowing" without credit! ‍ Set your license terms & ensure proper attribution when your work is shared. 🔗©️ Universal Links: Smart gateways for your content. Share anywhere (websites, apps, social media) with copyright info intact! ✅ 👁️Track Your Impact: Built-in analytics with UTM code support. Run targeted marketing campaigns without relying on 3rd party tools. (basic UI for now, soon to be improved) 🥳 To celebrate World Art Day (and, of course, our launch too) the first 100 to sign up for Macula will get a generous upgrade: >> The Macula 'Free+ Extra Storage' is the perfect starter plan for photographers and visual artists, designed to help you grow. All the features of the standard free plan, plus: ➕an increased 10 GB of storage space, ➕larger upload file sizes, ➕and boosted bandwidth. That said, Macula is currently in Beta and completely FREE to use. 🖥️Heads up: It's currently a web app. We recommend desktop over mobile for a better experience. We're still in early development with plenty of ideas brewing! Check out our feature roadmap to see what's in the works: https://kelp.notion.site/b7a6acd... 🙌Your feedback is our rocket fuel!
