FindMyPhotos.app

Ever scroll tirelessly through a photo album just to find photos with you in them?

After ETHGlobal Bangkok, a friend spent 40 minutes searching for his photos! This inspired me to build FindMyPhotos.app, which lets you find your photos from Flickr albums in seconds.

⚡ Upload a photo / take a live pic and find results in seconds

⛓️ Gated by ETHGlobal Packs to benefit past event attendees (discount)

📱 Easily download all photos and share them on X

👤 Anons can use it to ask for removal from albums

In the future, this project can be scaled to outside of IRL ETHGlobal events too — any event, conference, or hackathon organizers can provide this service to their attendees!

Tools: v0, Cursor

APIs: Flickr API, AWS Rekognition

Blockchain: Flow, Polygon, Zircuit, Ethers, Hardhat, Alchemy, ETHGlobal NFT Packs

1. Use the Flickr API to retrieve a list of HD photos from ETHGlobal album URLs. Photos are stored as img URLs in a txt file
2. Iterate through the txt file to index each face in a photo, and then upload each as a vector to an AWS collection
3. Set up AWS Rekognition on the frontend so users can upload images, and the backend will obtain the vector of their image to compare with the list in the AWS collection
4. Solidity smart contracts are used for token-gating the UX and the payments flow
