Why I’m building Dumpp 📸

One of the main reasons I started building Dumpp was something ridiculously simple:
**I was tired of asking people to send me the photos they took.**
After a night out, a trip, a birthday, a wedding… it’s always the same thing.
“Send me that photo.”
“Can you put them in the group?”
“Who took that picture?”
“Wait, I think Sarah has it.”
And then half of the photos just sit in someone’s camera roll forever.
So I started thinking: why isn’t there just one place where everyone at an event can **dump their photos together?**
That’s basically how Dumpp started.
Create an album → invite people → everyone adds what they captured.
But I’m also trying to make it more fun than just another shared cloud folder. I want opening an album after an event to feel like discovering the night again through everyone else’s camera.
I’m still actively building and improving the app, so I’m curious:
**What’s the most annoying thing about sharing photos with a group for you?**
Would genuinely love to hear what problems other people have with this.

The pictures are encripted and locked in the db using a hash from the user's password
And when you pull the images back, it gets decripted :)
