HS Photo Company — Photo Souvenir Desktop App

The brief/ challenge

The product I work on at Warp development is a photo souvenir platform centred around a react native app which tourist attractions use to take images of their visitors which they can sell to their attractions.

While an incredibly agile (especially when compared to other industry solutions) we needed a solution that would allow our attractions to use any camera system(s) they wanted (i.e. DSLRs etc.) while being able to take advantage of the rest of our platform.

The solution

In 5 days I ended up building an electron app which mimicked a lot of our mobile app (without the camera functionality) that:

  • Allowed attractions to upload client images from any camera.
  • Opened up the opportunity to integrate custom print functionality opening the our attractions up to being able to sell both physical and digital photo souvenirs.
  • Gave our client the ability to reach a wider range of attractions and new customers.
