Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built PikFind after watching the same thing happen at every event I shot. The photographer uploads 5,000 photos to a shared drive. The organizer posts the link. And then 300 people scroll through all 5,000 of them, on their phones, looking for the twelve they're in. Most give up. The photos the organizer paid for never get seen, never get posted, never do anything. PikFind flips who does the finding. • Organizers and photographers upload once. Folders, team uploads, that's it. • Guests open one link and take a selfie. They get only their own photos. • Nobody has to make an account to find their photos. The part I did not expect to matter most: sponsors. Organizers can put banners on the gallery and in the photo feed, then hand the sponsor an actual exposure report — impressions, clicks, time on screen. For a lot of organizers that turns the photo gallery from a cost into something they can sell. On faces and privacy, because you should ask: - The selfie is used to match and is not kept as a photo. - Anyone in a photo can request takedown from the photo itself. - Organizers have to attest how they collected consent before face search turns on, and we block regions where we are not comfortable running it. - The faces in our screenshots are blurred. The people at that event didn't sign up to be in our marketing. Where it actually is right now, honestly: it's live and it works — the gallery in the screenshots is a real dance festival with 5,184 photos. But it's early. No paying customers yet, and I'd rather hear what breaks than pretend otherwise. Two things I'd love your take on: 1. If you organize events — would sponsor exposure reporting change what you'd pay for a photo gallery? 2. If you attend them — is a selfie an OK trade to skip the scrolling, or does that feel like too much? I'm here all day. Ask me anything, including the uncomfortable ones.
