Over the years I noticed many of my friends collect all kinds of different photos.
One takes a photo whenever he sees an exotic car to share it in a group chat. Another told me and his girlfriend have a passion for traffic cones (apparently there are many different types).
I thought it would be fun to build them an app to collect all of these. And of course, with modern technology, we can cut out the object (i.e. remove the background), automatically identify metadata such as the model, colors, type, etc, and put them on a map to find back later.
That's what Loot is. It's my second ever iPhone app (I built many websites before) and it's completely vibe coded. But I did put in A LOT of effort in not making it look vibe coded. A lot of time was spent polishing the UX to give it character and make it fun to use.
The interactivity of the website gives a good preview of the playfulness of the app.
I already got a ton of good feedback and would love to hear what HN thinks of it and how you could see yourself using it. What features you'd like to see added next, etc.
It's a free download with currently no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
