I made a long-distance instant camera

Hacker News

Howdy! Wanted to share a weekend project of mine. When you take a picture with snapress it'll print on your friends' printers -- kinda like if you separated the camera and printer parts of a Polaroid and put them in different places. Just something to make picture sharing a little more physical again! It's free to use and all you need is a spare computer or raspberry pi to run the script. Everything takes place in the browser, so there's no need to download an app. I made it mostly as a way to connect with family on upcoming travels, it's a nice surprise to come back home to a printed out picture that was printed the moment they took it. Happy to answer any questions about the project! Thanks!
