    I built a daily selfie timelapse app and you may like it ;)

    Hi everyone! 👋 I’m so excited to share something close to my heart with you all. Two years ago, I launched an iOS app called Lapsey: Daily Selfie & Photo (available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac). It’s been such a rewarding journey, both as a passion project and a huge learning experience.

    Today, I stumbled upon this amazing community, and as the creator of a timelapse app, I got curious and started exploring posts about similar apps. I was honestly blown away by how many people are searching for the perfect app to suit their needs—and the incredible recommendations floating around here! It made me realize: "Well, I've never promoted my app anywhere, but hey, looks like there are lots of people who may be looking for it, so why not to share)?" So, here it comes ;)

    With the New Year just around the corner, I know a lot of us are looking for ways to kick off fresh journeys—whether it’s tracking our progress, capturing those little everyday moments, or creating something meaningful. If that sounds like you, maybe Lapsey could be a fun part of your journey! 😊

    So, here's a quick look on Lapsey:

    https://reddit.com/link/1hfq27i/video/b6x6f7pl197e1/player

    The app has been on the App Store for a while now, and I’ve been busy adding features to make it even better! One of my favorite updates is the addition of customizable guides—these let you perfectly align your photos by placing them anywhere, so it’s easy to capture the same angle every time.

    I’ve also introduced a calendar view, making it super simple to navigate through your photos and see your progress at a glance. And, on top of that, I recently added iPad support, which was a huge milestone for me. 🎉 And those are just a few of the recent updates )

    I’m constantly looking for ways to keep the app fresh and make it even better. In fact, many of the features I’ve added were inspired by user feedback—like the ability to import multiple photos at once, whether selecting them individually or grabbing an entire album in just a few clicks. 😊

    The app is free, so you can easily download it and give it a try! 😉 It’s simple and easy to use, so I think you’ll enjoy it. I’m not a fan of subscriptions (and I’m pretty sure most of you feel the same), so for anyone interested in extra features, there’s a one-time purchase. It unlocks things like creating multiple albums, securing your albums with biometrics, removing watermarks, and more!

    P.S. If you have any thoughts or ideas, I’d absolutely love to hear them! 🚀
    Sincerely, Ihor.

    Beginner, overwhelmed by options

    I'm a novice and I've recently decided to step up from my phone to a real camera. I'm a little intimidated by the options and I was hoping someone could recommend a camera for my specific case that won't be overkill and fits in my budget of <$500 used.

    My main interests are indoor mushroom photography/timelapse, so it needs good low light performance and timelapse capability. A built-in intervalometer would be nice but not a deal breaker. I'll invest in a macro lens for whichever camera I get. TIA for recommendations
