Hey Product Hunt! Willie (@ikbleu) and I worked on this minimal camera app for fun shortly after Drake dropped ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’. I wanted to give a full disclaimer that full functionality is only available on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus (for now).
2 main reasons for this:
1. In the spirit of sharing “Views from the 6” (the anticipated title of Drake’s next album), the initial idea was to empower Drake-listeners with a tool for them to share the views from THEIR 6 (ie. iPhone 6). Rather than aim for breadth and a large user base, we wanted to design something that would really resonate deeply with core users.
2. From a product design perspective, we were trying to tackle a problem that specifically faces iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users. Namely, the physical size of the device and small capture buttons often require a little bit of gymnastics between photo capture and share. We were interested in exploring a minimal interface with large thumb-reachable buttons that would allow a user to go through the entire capture>share flow without having to readjust his/her grip on the phone. The gold standard in our minds was creating an experience where a user could snap a share-ready picture with one-hand and no grip readjustments (irrespective of whether a user is right handed or left handed). Ideally, the entire posting flow could be completed with one hand, however we unfortunately have no control over the Instagram side of things :)
Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have about the app! We look forward to seeing some of the views from your 6 soon!
PS. Thank you @krrishd for hunting us!

@ikbleu@krrishd@lambobby would have been hilarious/awesome if you also geofenced this app to make it only work in Toronto.
