Check Raw Photos

From problem to solution to shipped product

Problem

Photographers needed a simple way to verify RAW photo integrity and metadata without complex software. The existing solutions were either too technical or too limited.

Solution

A mobile app that provides instant RAW photo analysis, metadata extraction, and integrity checks. Built with AI assistance to handle the complex parsing and validation logic while maintaining a simple, intuitive interface.

Process

From personal pain point to App Store product. AI enabled rapid prototyping and iteration, allowing focus on the core user experience rather than getting bogged down in technical implementation details.

Outcome

Successfully shipped and available on the App Store. Demonstrates how AI enables non-coders to build real solutions through long-tail app sales from solving small, specific problems.

Key Learnings

• Small problems can lead to sustainable products
• AI handles complexity, human handles experience
• Focus on the user, not the technology
• Ship early, iterate based on real usage
