Lomography AI

Just bought lomographyai.com because inspired by @levelsio’s disposable cam style AI photos. Maybe try out Flux and LoRa to see what I can build for lomo hobbyists?
I’ve always been a big lomo fan, played with Holga 135C, Diana F+, double exposure, expired film, cross-processing back in lomo’s hey day in the 2010s. Stopped since smartphone lomo apps came out, but it’s never quite the same. Now that I see the lomo Ai pics, I feel like I want to lomo again. The whimsical aesthetic and vibe of lomo film just hits different, something hard to reproduce on apps. But maybe AI can get closer.

My personal lomos
Best part - lomo users expect unpredictability, due to the nature of the medium. And AI is unpredictable, so it’s synced haha!
Though not sure if there’s enough interest as it’s no longer trending, and search volume is stagnant. But search volume of 12k per month for USA (i.e. 36k worldwide) and keyword difficulty of 20! At 1% conversion, this could be 360 sales per month. KD less than 20 means less than 10 backlinks to rank on first page of Google.

This could be a Progressive Web App, a Single Page Application:
- Upload a picture you took, select lomo effect, and viola
- Primary effects based on camera and film type
- Secondary like light leaks, double exposure, cross-processing
- Bonus: Browser access to the camera using
getUserMedia()to function like an app
Sounds like loads of fun!
