Thanks! Sure. Actually @katabasis summed it up perfectly: "... Also, it's a great demonstration of static site / "JAM stack" technology (Nuxt + Flicker API + Firebase). A simple setup leaves more time to spend crafting a polished experience."

Additionally, I am also using youtube's api for the videos and an airtable sheet where I store all the information about the films. When I update the airtable sheet it automatically updates firebase and generates the static site from nuxt. I could probably also use the airtable api but I have not looked into it yet.

I could not put it into better words :) Thanks!

As of now, I am trying to list all the film stocks that are currently still available/still floating around. I will take a closer look at the actuality of the films.

Thanks for the bug hint! I currently undecided on how I want to implement different film sizes. As of now each film shows in the details section the other available formats and I might make them filterable. Most of 120 films are also available as 35mm but I am aware of some exceptions. What do you think?

+1 what all above said. I myself self develop b/w and sometimes even C41 which is much easier than everyone talks/write about. The only problem with self-development imho is if you want to digitalize it. I have an Epson V500 scanner which is fine for b/w but almost useless for color. Labs tend to have much better scanners and experience in removing the color layers etc.

True that. Unless you try to drink from the trays you should be pretty fine.

Happy to hear that I could revive some memories!

Yes, that's right. The querying based on tags has its limitations considering the consistency. Some people even post b/w pictures and take color films. I have currently not found a better way to query it but I will def think about it.

thanks, I will take a look at it! I am sourcing CC BY 2.0 images from the flickr api.

Thanks! Yeah good idea. The basic concept is easily portable to other niches. I have actually setup affiliate links. However, as of now I really do not believe in affiliate as a way of monetization. For me, it seems users will rarely click on such links. Furthermore, amz commission is also fairly low if you ask me. I am always open for tips and tricks tho! :)

Thank you so much for the feedback. Absolutely appreciate it!

You are spot on with your feature requests and assumptions. I had the clickable tag feature in mind but the others are new and really valuable!

Also a good point with the feedback chatbox. I did get some feedback but in contrast to how annoying/prominent it actually is I will adjust it. I checked some sessions on hotjar and basically everyones first action is to dismiss the chatbox. I guess it makes much more sense on dedicated locations.

When I first got into film photography, I had a hard time figuring out which film stocks I should shoot. The beauty of film is that each emulsion has its very own characteristics which make it stand apart from the others.

While scrolling through endless blog articles and example photos on tumblr (which took me ages) I decided to aggregate the most useful data, pick the six most fitting example photos by hand (yes by hand) and create a place for you to easily explore the beautiful variety of analog film.

The tech stack is a nuxt static generated site hosted on firebase.
