Are you scrubbing Exif metadata on all these? I spot-checked a few and there didn't seem to be any embedded. A surprising number of people have no idea that their mobile phone may embed GPS coordinates in images they take with it.
I think most social media sites do this by default but I wish they were more selective about it. Okay to scrub GPS location if present but copyright/photographer/exposure details, etc, are all helpful and should be kept if at all possible.
You're accepting a random photo from a random Internet stranger which means there is a good chance it is a dick pic, a shock site picture, gore, child porn, or contains misc other unsavory content.
Not sure what it's for? Seems like it's trying to get a corpus for training image recognition - but then I can't rate the tagging of images or highlight when they've failed (like one of the "car" images is an aeroplane interior).
I can't link to a tag page. The images loading are shifting about and re-ordering which I find quite discombobulating and distracting. Some images -- someone's takeaway of indiscernable type -- that are loading for the front-page are quite large, 800+kB to show me a thumbnail. I hope you're not paying by the byte!
When you say anonymous, what's the scope of that? I see your are using Twilio - does that mean you can tell Twilio to drop all logs of the sender details of the images? If I have a group of people send large images can I DDoS the site?
It's only an experiment right now, so it's not built for anything specific at this point. There are some interesting ways to take it, but I wanted to see how it was used first. As you suggest, the ability to a further curate through the website would be great. One idea is some kind of stock photography site with users receiving a cut?
The frontend definitely needs polish and some architecture upgrades, as you pointed out. I wanted to see if anyone actually used it before putting more time in, but the feedback today has been encouraging.
As for anonymity, it's anonymous between users, but some basic Twilio data (phone number, city, state) is stored with your user account on my end.
As for attacks, Twilio provides some high level security, but beyond that I'm sure I could easily be hosed if someone were inclined. It's a hobby project, so the resources would fail pretty quickly under a sustained attack, and what fun is that?
Thanks for taking a look and the time to provide your thoughts.
Interesting service, I initially thought of it as a pen pal for the modern day where I'm linked to another account 1to1 instead of just receiving images from a stream. The rating aspect is unclear if 1 or 5 is better, I'm assuming 5 is better? Kinda fun but I'd be worried about receiving too many low quality pictures and I'd ignore posting again.
The name gives an implication that the photos being sent would be risque in nature. But clearly none of the photos shown are. Is anyone else confused by this?
Thanks for your feedback. The name was inspired by a Goethe quote: "Live dangerously and you live right." It's less about being risque as it is about being willing to put yourself out there and try something new - even if you don't know what the result will be.
Sounds like it already recorded a rating for your last photo? Try sending another photo, then waiting for your response photo before rating. Also, it's only looking for INTs so your 3.5 may have confused it. I'll make note - thanks for the heads up!

You already rated the last photo you received. Send another photo and wait for the response before submitting another rating.
