Brian Eno once said: "Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided."
So, Instagram emulated cheap, plastic film cameras and now we've finally moved on to OG digital cameras...

Just like God told him it has to be.

Do your server a favor and add thumbnails for list view. There are some huge 2MB images slowing down loading.

The real instagram feels like it compresses images down to below 640x480, so this is definitely an improvement.

I'm curious what a vintage digital camera is.

"Vintage Digital Cameras" is a phrase that makes me feel old.

Funny little idea. Not sure how much traction it’ll get :-) but the creator likes to fiddle with some cool nerdy things it seems [1]. Made me think it’d be interesting to have an Instagram clone that downsamples the media and maybe makes it monochrome (or colors more monotone at least) and removes some of the most offensive ML smart rankings, just to have a more calmer less addictive media consumption site?

This experience is distinctly "looking at a vintage website on a 2022 monitor".

Why does the front page give off a creepy vibe?
by RIMR on 8/19/22, 9:53 PM
I think the front page might be a little too exploitable from the looks of it right now (currently plastered with The Thing).

It looks like you can upload larger images and it does not crop nor resize them.

Complete with a top-down loading.

What Flickr wants meant to be

If the site owner is here, you might want to take off the "width: 50%;" on the container. This makes it centre properly on narrower widths.
Consider using a css grid instead of a table too.

How is this anything like an instagram clone at any point in time?
