Macula is a command center for managing all your multimedia content without compromising on ownership and attribution. Securely store, share across the internet, monitor usage & analyze performance.
I've been diving deep into Macula for the past few weeks, and it's honestly a game-changer for creative asset management.
Pros:
- Uploading, managing, and sharing everything - images, documents, videos - feels smooth and intuitive.
- Peace of mind? Priceless. Macula.Link protects my content and I can even track who’s using it (with Unilink) and how it performs.
- Unilinks - a super powerful concept that deserves a separate note. Love the preview cards and ready-to-use sharing options. Data Sources seem to be a super powerful tool, but I’ll need more time to dig into this.
Cons:
- It's still in early stages, so there are a few bugs to iron out. That is understandable, but it has potential
Overall, Macula.Link is a powerful tool for creators. It simplifies file management and protects your work. I'm excited to see how it evolves, because I'm frustrated with the current solutions.
Hey there!
I have been trying the product and just wanted to share my feedback.
As a content creator and someone that works a lot with social media I really like the on-the-fly transformations. It's fun to play with and can save tons of time and frustration.
On PC, the interface is clean and neat. Very pleasant to use!
Kuddos for that.
I am guessing this will be improved soon but as of now it seems a bit tricky to use on mobile. Again, it’s a webapp for now, so I get it. Hopefully, a mobile app version is coming soon.
Macula is focused on publishing visual content with licenses and attributions. With a technology called Unilink, this information gets embedded into the file itself. So even if your JPEGs get downloaded, the licensing and attributions can still be retrieved. This data is also recognizable by Google image search.
If you wish to publish your visual content online and care about licensing and attributions, Macula seems like the perfect tool for you. As nice extras, the service also offers image compression, basic transformations like sharpen and blur, and extensive statistics for published files.
The only significant drawback, currently present in the service, is that the upload file size is limited, which is not always enough for high-quality images.
Multimedia as an API. One link — endless possibilities.
Turn your art, photos, videos, or music into real-time APIs. Seamlessly integrate your content into other platforms and applications, unlock new avenues for monetization, and gain full insight into how your works are being used across the web and social media.
@dan_lupascu Excellent question! I've created a WIP repo for this very purpose. I'm rebuilding the https://woss.photo with UniLink API. Currently the issues with the existing woss.photo repo is huge, images are in the repo which makes it with 50 hi-res assets ~2GB and that's the GitHub limit for free repos.
The WIP repo is ~600kb with styles and all SPA files you can look at it here https://github.com/woss/woss.photo
The idea is to use my Macula handler (woss), fetch, prerender, and serve the directory name `woss-photo` as my portfolio. Additionally, I am hosting the woss-photo on Macula itself since we can host SPA directly from the IPFS with full fallback for dynamic routing.
Yeah, this is something we didn't talk about but it exists :)
The published version is here https://woss-photo.macula.link/
@dan_lupascu hi Dan, good question!
You'll be able to license any image directly from where it's shared. When clicking on an image you see the licensing options along with the creator's info.
You can also discover more work by the same creator by going to their public profile Macula which looks something like this: https://u.macula.link/@elena_von...
For now we only have the CreativeCommons license implemented, adding the commercial licenses is a next step.
Congratulations on the launch! I’m really enjoying the new updates!
I’m currently using the free plan with 10GB of storage, but I’m about to run out of space. Is there an option to upgrade without having to switch to a full enterprise plan?
Thanks in advance!
@leonardo_rojo Hi Leo! Thank you, I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the app so far!
Yes, there is. We recently rolled out 3 subscription plans ranging from 30 to 300GB, depending on your needs. We haven't put them on the website just yet, but you can already see them under the 'Billing' tab in the app itself.
Let us know if one of these options fit 🙌😊
