SelfieStory: Picture Everyday

📌

What is up Product Hunt! I started taking a selfie every day on Jan 1st, 2023, and by the end of the year, I realized how much time I wasted manually adjusting my photos for a timelapse. That’s when SelfieStory was born—to make documenting your growth easy and effortless. SelfieStory: Your Visual Diary Capture your life with daily selfies, perfectly aligned and turned into a stunning time-lapse video. Effortlessly track your progress, memories, and milestones. Features: - Daily Selfies, Perfectly Aligned: Automatic centering and alignment for seamless, aesthetic videos. - Seamless Video Compilation: Create breathtaking time-lapse videos of your transformation. - Daily Notifications: Never forget to take your selfie. - Import & Align Past Photos: Align old photos instantly to track past growth. - Full Privacy: Photos stay on your device—your data, your control. Perfect for tracking weight loss, watching kids grow, documenting hair changes, creating flipbooks, and capturing all of life's special moments. I’d love for others to start their own daily selfie journey and create videos like this starting Jan 1st, 2025. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

@rohil_ag Congrats on SelfieStory! The idea of effortlessly creating a visual diary through daily selfies is brilliant. How does it handle alignment for photos taken in different lighting or settings? Also, any plans to integrate with other apps for automatic photo imports or backups? Excited to see how this helps people document their journeys!

@tonyabracadabra Thank you so much for the thoughtful questions and support! 😄 SelfieStory's alignment system has been trained in a variety of conditions, and it’s super accurate in almost every scenario I’ve tested, including variable lighting and face locations. A lot of my pictures have been taken in dark environments or even with my hair covering my eyes or sunglasses on, and SelfieStory still aligns them accurately and beautifully. In my experience (and my beta testers’ too), it only struggles when faces are literally half-cropped at the edge of the image—but honestly, who wants to use those pics anyway? 😂 I absolutely love your idea about integrating with other apps for backups! For now, I’ve made it super easy to import photos directly from your gallery into SelfieStory, where they’re automatically aligned for a seamless experience. This lets people who already take a selfie every day continue their journeys in the app or gives new users a way to start their SelfieStory with a bit of a head start! Looking ahead, I have a long-term vision of SelfieStory being integrated into platforms like Google Photos (think recap sections) or even native photo apps. Imagine giving anyone a video of their growth, created from the photos they already have—that's something I'm genuinely so excited about! On top of that, users can back up their photos to the camera roll anytime, and there’s even a setting to save photos to the camera roll as they’re taken in the app. This way, you’re always in control of your data. Thanks again for your amazing suggestions!

I just downloaded it, but unfortunately, there is some bug happening. I tap the icon for taking the pic and nothing happens (besides the icon’s slight animation) and when I went back to home to try again, I tapped the blue camera icon and nothing happened again. I hope this is fixed soon, I loved your idea!

@rai_rezende Thank you so much for downloading and for your kind words! I’m really sorry you’re running into that bug. I’m working on a fix right now and will update the app ASAP. In the meantime, could you check if camera permissions are set to allow? If they are, try exiting the app and re-entering—it might solve the issue temporarily. I really appreciate your patience!

@rohil_ag I allowed what the app asked for, yes. I tried again now and this time I could go to the capture screen, but again nothing worked, not even the icons animations

@rai_rezende @rohil_ag Same problem. Hopefully it will get the update soon! Btw, can you build the app for lower iOS version. I'm using 16.1 on my iPhone. So, I have only one choice using it on my iPad. I just don't want to update my iPhone into higher iOS version :(
